Test Z: INTERMITTENTS

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Perform this test when instructed during QUICK TEST or if directed here by other test procedures. This system test is intended to diagnose and isolate intermittent concerns for the following:

The intermittent test table is used to determine which test to perform for the suspect circuit. See INTERMITTENT TEST  table. Corresponding Parameter Identification (PID) for each circuit are listed. Some circuits do not have an associated PID and can be measured with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM). If vehicle has coil pack ignition system with a no-start condition, perform ignition test. Go to step  21.

  1. Direction For Intermittent Diagnostic Path

    There are 2 main procedures used in this circuit test to isolate. Repair an intermittent condition. One procedure uses the Rotunda Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) Tester (007-00075) and the other uses an NGS tester and a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM). The distributorless ignition system tester is used on vehicles with coil pack ignition systems. If vehicle has an ignition condition and is equipped with coil pack ignition, go to step  21. If vehicle is not as described, go to next step.
  2. Perform PCM Reset Procedure

    If PCM reset procedure has already been performed, go to next step. If PCM reset procedure has not been performed, perform appropriate reset procedure. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURE in GENERAL INFORMATION. Ensure freeze frame data has been recorded before resetting PCM. After performing PCM reset procedure, go to next step.
  3. Select PIDs Related To Symptom

    NGS tester and a list of PIDs must be used to indicate area of fault. Obtain symptom from customer description. Use REFERENCE VALUE SYMPTOM table and REFERENCE VALUE/PID MEASUREMENT SIGNAL table to identity PIDs that relate to symptom. See appropriate PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUE CHARTS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Make a list of symptom related PIDs and go to next step.
  4. Symptom Verification

    Path to symptom verification is optional, but is recommended for the following reasons:
    • If vehicle is in for a repeat repair.
    • No DTCs are present.
    • Customer has difficulty describing symptom.

    If symptom needs to be verified, go to next step. If symptom is known and does not need to be verified, go to step  11.

  5. Note All Available Data To Aid In Symptom Verification

    Collect as much data as possible to aid in determining intermittent fault area. Note any freeze frame data recorded in step 2)  . Note any continuous memory codes present prior to performing COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURE in step 2)  . Obtain any information from customer that would aid in determining fault area. Go to next step.
  6. NOTE: A road test may be necessary to recreate conditions that originally caused DTC to set.

  7. Attempt To Recreate Symptom
    Using NGS tester, select and monitor PIDs displayed in freeze frame data (if available) and PIDs on list that were developed in step 3)  . Using freeze frame data recorded earlier, recreate conditions described by each freeze frame PID. Pay particular attention to ECT LOAD, RPM and VSS PIDs. Use any information available from customer to aid in producing conditions for recreating symptom. When symptom occurs, press trigger on NGS tester to begin recording. Refer to NGS tester instruction manual for recorder function operation. If symptom is reproduced, go to step  11. If symptom cannot be reproduced, go to next step.
  8. NOTE: PIDs for PCM outputs in pin voltage/PID value charts in appropriate PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUE CHARTS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE represent commanded values only. Circuit measurements made with DVOM indicate actual output status. If circuit measurement made with a DVOM differs from NGS tester PID value, a circuit fault may be indicated. PIDs for PCM inputs that differ from circuit measurements made with a DVOM indicate a possible PCM fault.

  9. Recreate Symptom Using Intermittent Road Test
    The intermittent road test procedure is the last attempt to locate area of condition before physically disturbing vehicle circuits. Road test is a set of instructions for monitoring PID values or making circuit measurements with a DVOM. Procedure is performed under 4 conditions: Key On Engine Off (KOEO), hot idle, with vehicle speed at 30 MPH and 55 MPH. On part of procedure that requires a road test at 30 MPH and 55 MPH, a ride along assistant is necessary. Use PID values and circuit values in pin voltage/PID value charts to compare with actual PID values and circuit measurements made during road test. To perform KOEO part of procedure, locate pin voltage/PID value chart in appropriate PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUE CHARTS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using NGS tester, select and monitor PID values. Using a DVOM, measure circuits at breakout box identified in pin voltage/PID value charts. Compare NGS tester PID values with circuit values made with DVOM. If any values are out of range, go to step  11. If all values are in range, go to next step.
  10. Recreate Symptom Using Hot Idle Road Test Procedure

    Start engine and allow to idle. Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Continue to monitor same PIDs and circuits as in step 7)  . If any values are out of range, go to step  11. If all values are in range, go to next step.
  11. Recreate Symptom Using 30 MPH Road Test

    Road test vehicle at 30 MPH and continue to monitor same PIDs and circuits as in step 7)  . If any values are out of range, go to step  11. If all values are in range, go to next step.
  12. Recreate Symptom Using 55 MPH Road Test

    Road test vehicle at 55 MPH and continue to monitor same PIDs and circuits as in step 7)  . If any values are out of range, go to next step. If all values are in range, it is now necessary to physically disturb selected circuit in an attempt to recreate intermittent condition. Go to next step.
  13. Select Circuits To Be Tested From Intermittent Test Table

    Remain in NGS tester PID selection menu. If steps 7)  -10)  (intermittent road tests) were performed, select PIDs or circuits that values did not match PID values or circuit values made using DVOM and pin voltage/PID value chart. If steps 7)  -10)  were not performed, select PIDs from PID list made in step 3)  . On all applications, see INTERMITTENT TEST  table. Match selected PIDs to corresponding circuit in INTERMITTENT TEST table. It is possible to have more than one circuit to test. If a PID recording was made with NGS tester in step 6)  , it may be helpful to replay recording at this time. Using INTERMITTENT TEST table, determine test to perform (input or output). To perform input test, go to next step. To perform output test, go to step  16.
  14. KOEO Intermittent Input Test

Turn ignition switch to ON position. Locate area of suspect wiring or component fault. If input is a switch-type component, turn switch on manually. While observing PID/DVOM value, wiggle and pull on component wiring and connector. Lightly tap on component. If a fault is indicated, value will suddenly change. For correct values, see appropriate PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUE CHARTS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If no fault is indicated, go to next step. If a fault is indicated, check each related connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair as necessary. If connector(s) is okay, replace suspect component.
  15. KOER Intermittent Input Test

    Start engine and allow it to idle. Continue to monitor PIDs and/or circuits as in step 12)  . Turn ignition switch to ON position. Locate area of suspect wiring or component fault.

Continue to test until intermittent fault is located. Repair as necessary. Retest system.
  64. Check CKP SHD For Short To Power

    Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Measure resistance between CASE GND/CKP SHD terminal and VPWR terminal at DIS tester. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, go to step  61.
  65. Isolate Short

    Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position. Disconnect PCM 104-pin connector. Reconnect DIS tester to vehicle wiring harness. Measure resistance between CASE GND/CKP SHD terminal and VPWR terminal at DIS tester. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair CASE GND/CKP SHD circuit. Retest system. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, replace PCM. Retest system.
  66. Wiggle Test Mode B: CKP Circuit

    Turn ignition switch to ON position. Set DIS tester WIGGLE TEST switch on. Set MODE switch to "B" position. Press DIS tester RESET button and wait 5 seconds for initialization. Wiggle and bend wiring harness and connectors. If FAULT MEMORY LEDs are off, repair CASE GND/CKP SHD circuit. Retest system. If any FAULT MEMORY LED is on, press RESET button and wait for initialization. Continue to test until intermittent fault is located. Repair as necessary. Retest system.
