Test Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. DR1 CONTINUOUS MEMORY DTC P0340: CHECK IF THE ENGINE WILL START 
    • Attempt to start engine.

    Does the engine start? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DR2. Concern is elsewhere. RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS - HYBRID ESCAPE for further direction.
  2. DR2 CONTINUOUS MEMORY DTC P0340: CLEAR AND ATTEMPT TO REGENERATE THE DTC 
    • Clear the DTCs.
    • Increase the engine speed to greater than 1,500 RPM for 10 seconds.
    • Repeat this 3 times.
    • Check for self-test DTCs:

    Is DTC P0340 present? 

    Yes No
    Key in OFF position.
    A hard fault is present.
    GO to  DR3.
    Key in OFF position.
    GO to  DR8.
  3. DR3 CHECK THE CMP SENSOR RESISTANCE 
    NOTE: The CMP sensor resistance values change significantly with temperature rise.
    • CMP Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
    ( + ) CMP Sensor Connector, Component Side ( - ) CMP Sensor Connector, Component Side
    CMP - Pin 2 SIGRTN - Pin 1

    Is the resistance between 250 ohms - 1K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DR4. INSTALL a new CMP sensor.
  4. DR4 CHECK THE CMP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER IN THE HARNESS 
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      ( + ) CMP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) Vehicle Battery
      CMP - Pin 2 Negative terminal

    Is the voltage less than 1 V? 

    Yes No
    Key in OFF position.
    GO to  DR5.
    REPAIR the short circuit.
  5. DR5 CHECK THE CMP CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS 
    NOTE: Refer to Figure in the beginning of this pinpoint test for PCM connector pin numbers. VR-type sensors are susceptible to electrical interference (noise). Harness shielding, where present, should be reinstalled properly when removed for testing.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) PCM Connector, Harness Side ( - ) CMP Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      CMP - Pin E10 CMP - Pin 2
      SIGRTN - Pin B41, E41 SIGRTN - Pin 1

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DR6. REPAIR the open circuit.
  6. DR6 CHECK THE CMP CIRCUIT(S) FOR A SHORT TO SIGRTN OR GND IN THE HARNESS 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) CMP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) CMP Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      CMP - Pin 2 SIGRTN - Pin 1
    • Measure the resistance between:
    ( + ) CMP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) Vehicle Battery
    CMP - Pin 2 Negative terminal

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DR7. REPAIR the short circuit.
  7. DR7 CHECK THE CMP SENSOR OUTPUT 
    • PCM connector connected.
    • CMP Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Crank the engine using the engine cranking diagnostic mode. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODES .
    • Digital multimeter on low voltage AC scale.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      ( + ) CMP Sensor Connector, Component Side ( - ) CMP Sensor Connector, Component Side
      CMP - Pin 2 SIGRTN - Pin 1

    Is the voltage greater than 0.25 V? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) . INSTALL a new CMP sensor.
  8. DR8 CHECK THE CMP CIRCUIT FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONCERN 
    • Access the PCM and monitor the CMPFM PID.
    • While observing the PID, wiggle, shake, and bend small sections of the wiring harness working from the sensor to the PCM.

    Is a concern present during the wiggle test? 

    Yes No
    ISOLATE the fault and REPAIR as necessary. GO to Pinpoint Test Z .
