Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
      NOTE:

      Diagnose and repair any system voltage or 5-volt Sensor Reference DTCs before continuing with this test.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE FTP SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE VALUE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the FTP Sensor harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, view the FTP Sensor voltage with the FTP Sensor harness connector disconnected.
      NOTE:

      The sensor voltage should be approximately 5.0 volts (plus or minus.1 volts) with the connector disconnected.

      Does the scan tool display the voltage as described above?

      Yes 

      • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the FTP Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the FTP Sensor if no problems were found with the connectors.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (N7) FTP SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
    3. Check for continuity between ground and the (N7) FTP Sensor Signal circuit at the FTP Sensor harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (N7) FTP Sensor Signal circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to ground in the (N7) FTP Sensor Signal circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE (N7) FTP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (N10) FTP SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT 
    1. Check for continuity between the (N7) FTP Sensor Signal circuit and the (N10) FTP Sensor Return circuit at the FTP Sensor harness connector.

      Is there between the (N7) FTP Sensor Signal circuit and the (N10) FTP Sensor Return circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short between the (N7) FTP Sensor Signal circuit and the (N10) FTP Sensor Return circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    10. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No 

      • The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
