Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, and 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number below refers to the step number in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 1

    Service the ABS before diagnosing for a misfire, because an actual engine misfire may or may not exist. The following 2 examples illustrate how this DTC can be set with or without an actual engine misfire:
    • There was an actual engine misfire during an ABS malfunction.
    • The vehicle operator drove on a rough road, the ABS could not detect this due to a malfunction, and the PCM interpreted the variations in crankshaft speed caused by the rough road as a misfire.
