Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step checks for a voltage reading on the scan tool.
  2. 3:  This step tests the encoder circuit for a current malfunction.
  3. 4:  This step tests for an internal encoder malfunction which is present only in certain areas of the encoder sensor.
  4. 5:  This step tests for proper reference voltage at the encoder.
  5. 6:  This step tests the 5-volt regulator encoder circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, an open or high resistance.
  6. 7:  After determining if the reference voltage measured in Step 4 is correct, Step 6 reviews the reading originally measured in Step 3 to see if it is higher or lower than what is expected. This step helps determine whether the encoder signal circuit is being pulled high or low.
  7. 8:  This step tests the encoder signal circuit and the encoder low reference circuit for a short to voltage.
  8. 9:  This step helps determine a faulty encoder.
  9. 10:  This step tests the encoder signal circuit and the encoder low reference circuit for an open or a short to ground.
