Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2002 Saturn Vue, 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Pontiac Aztek, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A missing CMP sensor signal may cause a long crank condition. CKP signal must be available for engine to start. CMP signal is not needed to start and operate engine. PCM can determine when a cylinder is on either firing or exhaust stroke by the 24x signal.
NOTE: On 8.1L, 12-volt reference circuit for CKP and CMP sensors are shared internally in PCM.
NOTE: Remove any debris from PCM connector surfaces before servicing PCM. Inspect PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing PCM. Ensure gaskets are installed correctly. Gaskets prevent water intrusion into PCM.

For an intermittent condition, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - TRUCKS article.
