TROUBLE CODE DIAGNOSIS (1.8D-FAM I)

Clearing Trouble Codes

Notice : To prevent Engine Control Module (ECM) damage, the key must be OFF when disconnecting or reconnecting the power to the ECM (for example battery cable, ECM pigtail connector, ECM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).

When the ECM sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lamp will be turned on only for type A, B and E but a DTC will be stored in the ECM's memory for all types of DTC. If the problem is intermittent, the MIL will go out after 10 seconds if the fault is no longer present. The DTC will stay in the ECM's memory until cleared by scan tool. Removing battery voltage for 10 seconds will clear some stored DTCs.
DTCs should be cleared after repairs have been completed. Some diagnostic tables will tell you to clear the codes before using the chart. This allows the ECM to set the DTC while going through the chart, which will help to find the cause of the problem more quickly.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0016

Crankshaft Position (CKP)-Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation

System Description

The Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor is used to correlate crankshaft to camshaft position so that the Engine Control Module (ECM) can determine which cylinder is ready to be fueled by the injector. The CMP is also used to determine which cylinder is misfiring when a misfire is present. When the ECM cannot use the information from the CMP sensor, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set, and the ECM will fuel the engine using the Alternating Synchronous Double Fire (ASDF) method.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire that is broken inside the insulation.
Any circuitry, that is suspected as causing the complaint, should be thoroughly checked for the following conditions:
Anytime a poor connection is present, the CMP Reference Activity counter will stop incrementing.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the malfunction occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. This step determines if DTC P0016 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.
  3. The counter should stop incrementing with the sensor electrical connector disconnected and set a DTC P0340 with the sensor disconnected. If it still increments the ECM is malfunctioning.
  4. By moving the CMP sensor electrical connector, the connections at the sensor are checked. Make sure the electrical connector remains securely fastened.
  5. A poor connection in any of the circuits at the CMP will cause the CMP Resync Counter to increment. Anytime a poor connection is present, the CMP Reference Activity counter will stop incrementing and the CMP Resync Counter will increment.
  6. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed. Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM reprogramming.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0106

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Performance

Circuit Description

The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor to control the fuel delivery and the ignition timing. The MAP sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold pressure which results from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and the rpm changes, and it converts these into voltage outputs. The ECM can detect if the MAP sensor is not responding to the Throttle Position (TP) changes by comparing the actual MAP change to a predicted MAP change based on the amount of TP change that occurs. If the ECM does not see the expected MAP change or more, DTC P0106 will set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

Diagnostic Aids

With the ignition ON and the engine stopped, the manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and the signal voltage will be high. This information is used by the ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude. Comparison of this reading with a known good vehicle with the same sensor is a good way to check the accuracy of a suspect sensor. Readings should be the same +0.4 volt.
The MAP sensor vacuum source should be thoroughly checked for restrictions at the intake manifold.

Test Description

Numbers below refer to the step numbers on the Diagnostic Table.
  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. A sensor that displays an ignition ON, engine OFF BARO value that does not appear normal for the altitude the vehicle is in should be considered to be malfunctioning.
  3. While starting the engine, the MAP sensor should detect any changes in the manifold pressure. This test is to determine if the sensor is stuck at a value.
  4. A normal MAP sensor will react as quickly to the throttle changes as they can be made. A sensor should not appear to be lazy or catch up with the throttle movements.
  5. This step checks if the reason for no MAP change was due to a faulty sensor or vacuum source to the sensor.
  6. The MAP sensor vacuum source should be thoroughly checked for restrictions. A drill bit can be used to clean out any casting flash that may exist in the vacuum port.
  7. The MAP sensor vacuum source should be thoroughly checked for restrictions. A drill bit can be used to clean out any casting flash that may exist in the vacuum port.
  8. The MAP Sensor System Performance diagnostic may have to complete several tests before determining if the diagnostic has passed or failed the last test. Operate the vehicle in the Conditions for Setting the DTC several times to ensure that the diagnostic runs enough tests to pass or fail.
  9. If no faults have been found at this point and no additional DTCs were set, refer to "Diagnostic Aids"in this section for additional checks and information.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0107

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

Circuit Description

The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor to control the fuel delivery and the ignition timing. The MAP sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold pressure which results from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and the rpm changes, and it converts these into voltage outputs. The ECM sends a 5 volt reference voltage to the MAP sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the output of MAP sensor also changes. By monitoring the Map sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the manifold pressure. A low pressure (low voltage) output voltage will be about 1.0 to 1.5 volts while the higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4.5 to 4.8 volts at Wide Open Throttle(WOT). The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions to measure Barometric Pressure (BARO), allowing the ECM to make adjustments for different altitude.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

Diagnostic Aids

With the ignition ON and the engine stopped, the manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and the signal voltage will be high. This information is used by the ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude. Comparison of this reading with a known good vehicle with the same sensor is a good way to check the accuracy of a suspect sensor. Readings should be the same 12 kPa.
If a DTC P0107 is intermittent, refer to "Manifold Absolute Pressure Check" in this section for further diagnosis.

Important : After repairs, use the scan tool FUEL TRIM RESET function to reset long-term fuel trim to 128 (0%).

Test Description

Numbers below refer to the step numbers on the Diagnostic Table.
  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the malfunction occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. This step will determine if DTC P0107 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.
  3. Jumpering harness terminals 2 to 1 (signal circuit to 5 volts) will determine if the sensor is malfunctioning or if there is a problem with the ECM or wiring.
  4. The scan tool may not display 5 volts. The Important thing is that the ECM recognizes the voltage as more than 4 volts, indicating that the ECM and the signal circuit are OK. A test light that illuminates indicates a short to ground in the signal circuit.
  5. A short to ground in the 5 volt reference circuit could also set additional DTCs.
  6. The replacement ECM must be programmed. Refer to the latest Techline procedure for the ECM reprogramming.

This information is used by the ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude. Comparison of this reading with a known good vehicle with the same sensor is a good way to check the accuracy of a suspect sensor. Readings should be the same 12 kPa.
If a DTC P0108 is intermittent, refer to "Manifold Absolute Pressure Check" in this section for further diagnosis.
DTC P0108 may set as result of a misfire. If misfire is present, repair the cause of misfire before using this table. The misfire counters may be used to determine which cylinder(s) is misfiring.

Note : After repairs, use the scan tool FUEL TRIM RESET function to reset long-term fuel trim to 128 (0%).
If DTC P0172 is also set, check 5 volt reference circuit for short to voltage.

Test Description

Numbers below refer to the step numbers on the Diagnostic Table.
  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the malfunction occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. This step will determine if DTC P0108 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.
  3. This step simulates conditions for a DTC P0107. If the ECM recognizes the change, the ECM, the 5 volt reference and the sensor signal circuits are OK.
  4. This step also looks for an open in the sensor ground circuit. If the circuit was open, additional DTCs will also be set. If no other DTCs are set and the circuit is found to be open, then the open must be between the MAP sensor and the electrical connector ground splice.
  5. When the sensor signal circuit is shorted to battery voltage, the TP will be displayed above 0% at all times and A/C High Side will be displayed high. The vehicle will also remain in Open Loop.
  6. The MAP sensor vacuum source should only supply vacuum to the MAP sensor. Check the vacuum port for a restriction caused by casting flash.
  7. Disconnect all sensors that use a 5 volt reference one at a time while monitoring the short on the 5 volt reference circuit. Replace any sensor that may have caused the short on the 5 volt reference circuit.
  8. The replacement ECM must be programmed to the latest Techline procedure for the ECM reprogramming.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0112

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

Circuit Description

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor uses a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM supplies a 5 volt reference and a ground to the sensor. When the air is cold, the resistance is high; therefore the IAT signal voltage will be high. If the intake air is warm, resistance is low; therefore the IAT signal voltage will be low.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

Diagnostic Aids

If the vehicle is at ambient temperature, compare the IAT sensor to the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. The IAT sensor and the ECT sensor should be relatively close to each other.
Use the Temperature vs. Resistance Values table to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. Refer to "Temperature vs. Resistance" in this section.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the malfunction occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. This step simulates a DTC P0113 condition. If the scan tool displays the specified value, the IAT signal circuit, the ECM are OK.
  3. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed. Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM reprogramming.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0117

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

Circuit Description

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor uses a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM supplies a 5 volt reference and a ground to the sensor. When the engine coolant is cold, the resistance is high; therefore the ECT signal voltage will be high. If the engine coolant is warm, sensor resistance becomes less; therefore the IAT signal voltage drops. At normal engine operating temperature, the voltage will be between 1.5 to 2.0 volts at the ECT signal terminal.
The ECT sensor is used to control following items:

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0122

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

Circuit Description

The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a 5 volt reference voltage signal and a ground to the Throttle Position (TP) sensor. The TP sensor sends a voltage signal back to the ECM relative to the throttle plate opening. The voltage signal will vary from approximately 0.33 volts at closed throttle, to over 4.3 volts at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
The TP signal is used by the ECM for fuel control and for most of the ECM controlled outputs. The TP signal is one of the most important inputs used by the ECM for fuel control and most of the ECM controlled outputs.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

Diagnostic Aids

If the DTC P0122 cannot be duplicated, the information included in the Freeze Frame data can be useful. Use a scan tool information data to determine the status of the DTC. If the dc occurs intermittently, using the Diagnostic table may help isolate the problem.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the malfunction occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. The TP sensor has an auto zeroing feature. If the voltage reading is between 0.2 to 0.9 volts, the ECM will assume the TP sensor is at a closed throttle position (0%).
  3. Simulates a high voltage signal which will identify an open in the signal circuit.
  4. If additional DTCs are set, check the 5v reference circuits for a short to ground.
  5. If the test light illuminates while probing the TP signal circuit, then the TP signal circuit is shorted to ground.
  6. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed. Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM reprogramming.
