Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the insulation. Check for:
- Poor Connection Or Damaged Harness: Inspect PCM harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal to wire connection and damaged harness.
- Intermittent Test: Monitor Tech 1 while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If failure is induced, scan data will change from low to high, or high to low. This may assist in isolating malfunction.
- Shifted Sensor: See TEMPERATURE-TO-RESISTANCE VALUES table to test sensor at various temperature levels to evaluate the possibility of a shifted sensor which may result in driveability complaints.
- A faulty connection, or an open in sensor circuits will cause Code P0117 to set.
