Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor reference voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

    1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
      WARNING:

      When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE (F343) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Short Runner Valve Actuator harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, actuate the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay Control State.
    5. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F343) ASD Relay Output circuit in the Short Runner Valve Actuator harness connector.
      NOTE:

      The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

      Is the test light illuminated and bright?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      • Repair the (F343) ASD Relay Output circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  3. CHECK THE (K237) SRV SENSE OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Check for continuity between ground and the (K237) SRV Sense Output circuit at the Short Runner Valve Actuator harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K237) SRV Sense Output circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K237) SRV Sense Output circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK FOR THE (K237) SRV SENSE OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (Z904) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT 
    1. Check for continuity between the (K237) SRV Sensor Output circuit and the (Z904) Sensor Ground circuit in the Short Runner Valve Actuator harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the (K237) SRV Sensor Output circuit and the (Z904) Sensor Ground?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the (K237) SRV Sense Output circuit for a short to the (Z904) Sensor Ground circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. CHECK THE (K237) SRV SENSE OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    CAUTION:

    Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.

    1. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic).
    2. Measure the resistance of the (K237) SRV Sense Output circuit between the Short Runner Valve Actuator harness connector and the GPEC Adaptor.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  6

      No 

      • Repair the (K237) SRV Sense Output circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  6. SHORT RUNNER VALVE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Connect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Connect a jumper between the (F343) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit and the (K237) SRV Sensor Output circuit in the Short Runner Valve Actuator harness connector.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. With the scan tool, read the Short Runner Valve signal voltage.

      Is the voltage approximately equal to battery voltage with the jumper in place?

      Yes 

      • Replace the Short Runner Valve Actuator in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Short Runner Valve Actuator and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
    5. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
    6. Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
