Circuit/System Verification

  1. Verify DTCs P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0121, P0641, P0651, P2228, or P2229 are not set.
  2. Ignition ON, observe the MAP and SC Inlet Pressure Sensor kPa parameters with a scan tool. Start the engine and let it idle. The MAP Sensor and SC Inlet Pressure Sensor kPa parameters should decrease and closely match each other.
    • If the MAP Sensor parameter does not decrease and closely match the SC Inlet parameter, refer to DTC P0106 .
  3. Ignition ON, depress the accelerator pedal completely to wide open throttle (WOT) and observe the TP Indicated Angle parameter with a scan tool. The TP Indicated Angle parameter should read 98-100 percent.
  4. Ignition ON, perform a snapshot of the throttle actuator control (TAC) data while performing the following actions. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure .
    1. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly release the pedal. Exit from the snapshot and review the data.
    2. Compare the TP Sensor 1 and the TP Sensor 2 parameters, frame by frame. The difference between the parameters should be less than 4 percent.
  5. Road test the vehicle and perform a brief wide open throttle (WOT) acceleration from 30 mph. The MAP sensor parameter on the scan tool should increase rapidly. This increase should be from approximately 35 kPa at idle to greater than 135 kPa.
  6. A skewed or stuck ECT, BARO, MAP, MAF/IAT, or IAT sensor 2 will cause the calculated models to be inaccurate and may cause this DTC to run when it should not. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance and Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure .
  7. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify that the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
