Diagnostic Test

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

READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR THE DTC TO RETURN
1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
2. For future reference, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
3. With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
4. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 75.0 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition on.
6. Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT DTC .
CHECK THE CRANKCASE VENT HEATER (N116) CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Crankcase Vent Heater harness connector.
3. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
4. Remove the ASD Relay.
5. Connect a jumper between cavity 30 and cavity 87 of the ASD Relay connector.
6. Turn the ignition on.
7. Measure the voltage on the Crankcase Vent Heater (N116) Control circuit at the Crankcase Vent Heater harness connector.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the Crankcase Vent Heater (N116) Control circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK FOR THE CRANKCASE VENT HEATER (N116) CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (F343) FUSED ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the jumper and install the ASD relay.
3. Measure the resistance between the Crankcase Vent Heater (N116) Control circuit and the (F343) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit at the Crankcase Vent Heater harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the Crankcase Vent Heater (N116) Control circuit for a short to the (F343) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE ABILITY OF THE PCM TO OPERATE CRANKCASE VENT HEATER CONTROL
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
5. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
6. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  NOTE:
  The P053A-Crankcase Vent Heater Control Circuit Open DTC should be active or pending with the jumper in place.
  
  Did P053A-Crankcase Vent Heater Control Circuit Open DTC display as active with the jumper in place?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Crankcase Vent Heater.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
10. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
