Non-Monitored Circuits

PCM does not monitor all circuits, conditions and systems that could cause a malfunction or driveability problem. However, problems with these systems may cause PCM to store DTCs for other systems or components.

As an example a fuel pressure problem (clogged fuel filter or pinched fuel line) will not identify a fault directly, but could cause a rich/lean condition or misfire. This could also cause PCM to store an oxygen sensor DTC. The major non-monitored circuits are identified below:

• Cylinder Compression
• Excessive Oil Consumption
• Exhaust System
• Fuel Injector Mechanical Faults
• Fuel Pressure
• PCM Connector Engagement
• PCM System Ground
• Secondary Ignition System
• Throttle Body Airflow
• Vacuum Assist
