Inspect all circuits going to the CMP sensor for circuit routed too close to secondary ignition wires or components, routed too close to after-market add-on electrical equipment, routed too close to solenoids, relays, and motors. If you find incorrect routing, correct the harness routing. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step  9. If no, go to next step.

  9. Replace ECM. Perform ECM relearn procedures. See ENGINE CONTROL MODULE  under PROGRAMMING. After replacing ECM, go to next step.
  10. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start engine. Operate vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. See CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING DTC . You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Does the DTC fail this ignition? If yes, go to step  2. If no, go to next step.
  11. Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTC's that have not been diagnosed? If yes, go to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no, system is okay.
