Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
        NOTE:

        If the P2100 is intermittent, it is possible that Low battery voltage is causing excessive current draw, in very hot or very cold ambient temperatures and this is considered a normal protection operation. No repair is necessary.

  2. CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY HARNESS CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Check the Throttle Body harness connector for proper connection at the Throttle Body.

    4. Disconnect the Throttle Body harness connector and check for any pushed out, damaged or spread terminals.
      NOTE:

      An intermittent loss of a signal from one of the sensors may cause this DTC to set without setting a sensor fault.

      Were any issues found with the connector or terminals?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit for a short to the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE (K448) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO 5.0 VOLTS 
    1. Check for continuity between the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit for a short to the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK FOR THE (K447) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K448) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT 
    1. Check for continuity between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK THE (K447) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Check for continuity between ground and the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. CHECK THE (K448) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Check for continuity between ground and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  8
  8. REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND RETEST FOR DTCS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Replace the Throttle Body in accordance with the Service Information. After installation is complete, with a scan tool perform the ETC RELEARN function. Refer to THROTTLE BODY, REMOVAL .
    3. Connect the Throttle Body and PCM harness connectors.
