Diagnostic Test
- PERFORM THE CAM/CRANK RELEARN PROCEDURE NOTE:
The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn must be performed anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool select the "Cam/Crank Relearn" procedure under PCM Miscellaneous Menu Option and follow the on screen instructions.NOTE:
If a negative response is displayed after the Cam/Crank Relearn procedure is performed, start the engine and perform the Cam/Crank Relearn procedure over until the misfire monitor is cleared.
Did the PCM complete the Cam/Crank Relearn procedure?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the process over until the Relearn procedure is completed.
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- Turn the ignition off.
- Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
- With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
- Start the engine and allow it to idle.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
Is the DTC active or pending?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair is complete.
- INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTORS FOR DAMAGE OR POOR FIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Visually inspect the Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor wire harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Visually inspect the CKP Sensor wire harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Crank Position Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
- Ensure that the CKP Sensor is properly installed and the mounting bolt(s) are torqued to the proper specification.
Were any of the above conditions present?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- INSPECT THE TARGET WHEEL/FLEX PLATE FOR DAMAGE, FOREIGN MATERIAL, OR EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT
- Remove the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Refer to SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITION, REMOVAL .
- Inspect the Target Wheel/Flex Plate for damage, foreign material, or excessive movement.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair or replace the Target Wheel/Flex Plate as necessary. The "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure must be performed every time there has been a repair/replacement made to a CMP Sensor and/or CKP Sensor, Flywheel, Valvetrain, Timing Chain or gears. Failure to do so can cause a misfire fault to set. With the scan tool, perform the "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
- Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITION, REMOVAL . The "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure must be performed every time there has been a repair/replacement made to a CMP Sensor and/or CKP Sensor, Flywheel, Valvetrain, Timing Chain or gears. Failure to do so can cause a misfire fault to set. With the scan tool, perform the "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
