Test Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- JD1 CHECK THE CKP SENSOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM
- Battery fully charged and starting system functioning properly.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
- Access the PCM and monitor the RPM PID.
- Crank the engine using the engine cranking diagnostic mode. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODES .
Is the RPM between 900 - 1,200 RPM?
Yes No The CKP, PCM, and harness are working properly.
RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS for further direction.For DTCs P0727 and P0C2F, GO to JD2. - JD2 CHECK THE TIMING COVER, CKP SENSOR, AND CRANKSHAFT PULSE WHEEL FOR OBVIOUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Visually check the timing cover, CKP sensor, and crankshaft pulse wheel (outside the timing cover) for obvious physical damage.
Do any parts appear physically damaged?
Yes No REPAIR or INSTALL a new component as necessary.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.GO to JD3. - JD3 CHECK FOR PROPER CKP BIAS VOLTAGES IN THE PCM
- CKP Sensor connector disconnected.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
- Measure the voltage between:
(+) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) Vehicle Battery CKP+ - Pin 1 Negative terminal CKP- - Pin 2 Negative terminal
Are the voltages between 1 - 3 V?
Yes No GO to JD4. GO to JD6. - JD4 CHECK THE CKP SENSOR RESISTANCE NOTE: The CKP sensor resistance values change significantly with temperature rise.
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between:
(+) CKP Sensor Connector, Component Side (-) CKP Sensor Connector, Component Side CKP+ - Pin 1 CKP- - Pin 2
Is the resistance between 0.25K - 1K ohms?
Yes No GO to JD5. INSTALL a new CKP sensor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. - JD5 CHECK THE CKP HARNESS SHIELD GROUND NOTE: The harness shield protects the CKP signal from electrical noise and is grounded at one end, typically near the PCM.NOTE: Carry out the following resistance measurement between the CKP shield and the chassis ground.
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes No GO to JD6. REPAIR the circuit. CHECK for a poor ground connection.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. - JD6 CHECK FOR A SHORT BETWEEN THE CKP(+) AND CKP(-) IN THE HARNESS
- PCM connector disconnected.
- Measure the resistance between:
(+) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side CKP+ - Pin 1 CKP- - Pin 2
Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms?
Yes No GO to JD7. REPAIR the circuit.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. - JD7 CHECK THE CKP CIRCUIT(S) FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS
- PCM connector disconnected.
- Measure the resistance between:
(+) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) PCM Connector, Harness Side CKP- - Pin 2 CKP- - Pin E42 CKP+ - Pin 1 CKP+ - Pin E58
Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes No GO to JD8. REPAIR the circuit.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. - JD8 CHECK THE CKP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE IN THE HARNESS
- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
- Measure the voltage between:
(+) PCM Connector, Harness Side (-) Vehicle Battery CKP+ - Pin E58 Negative terminal CKP- - Pin E42 Negative terminal
Is any voltage present?
Yes No REPAIR the circuit.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.GO to JD9. - JD9 CHECK THE CKP CIRCUIT(S) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND IN THE HARNESS
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between:
(+) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) Vehicle Battery CKP+ - Pin 1 Negative terminal CKP- - Pin 2 Negative terminal
Are the resistances less than 10K ohms?
Yes No REPAIR the circuit.
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.GO to JD10. - JD10 CHECK FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
Is DTC P0C2F present?
Yes No GO to PINPOINT TEST TO . GO to JD11. - JD11 CHECK FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
Is DTC P0727 present?
Yes No GO to PINPOINT TEST JH . GO to JD12. - JD12 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION
- Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
- Visually inspect for:
- pushed out pins
- corrosion
- Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Carry out the PCM self-test and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes No INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) . The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
