  1. Start and run the engine until the coolant temperature is more than 82°C (180°F). Turn OFF all accessories.
  2. Perform the fuel pressure regulator test, refer to Fuel Pressure Regulator Diagnosis .
  3. With a scan tool, command the Balance Rate Monitor ON. Balance rates should be between +4 mm3 and -6.9 mm3 in Park or Neutral. Balance rates outside the range may indicate contaminated fuel. Refer to Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis .
  4. IMPORTANT:
    • The Cylinder Power Balance Test must be performed under the conditions for which the customer concern occurred.
    • Do not operate the cruise control during this test. Cruise control may cause a brief surge of engine speed after the completion of the test.
  5. Perform the Cylinder Power Balance Test with a scan tool. During cylinder cancellation a noticeable power difference will feel like a misfiring cylinder or vibration.
