The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 3

    This step determines if this is a hard or intermittent DTC.
  2. 5

    This step determines if there is a 5-volt reference.
  3. 7

    This step verifies whether the sensor is sending a signal back to the PCM.
  4. 11

    The PCM supplies 5 volts on the signal circuit. This step determines if that voltage is present, not present, or if too much voltage is present.
  5. 16

    This step determines if the signal circuit is shorted to 5 volts. A normal CAM signal circuit will have 3-5 mA. Any reading over 35 mA indicates a short to 5 volts.
