Test Procedure

  1. YA1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS 
    NOTE: For DTC P061A or P061B, make sure the air cleaner and air inlet pipe are correctly installed prior to continuing diagnosis. Check for aftermarket air cleaner products. Aftermarket components or unauthorized modifications to the air inlet system may result in setting DTCs P061A or P061B.

    Are any DTCs present other than P05EC, P0600, P060A, P060B, P060C, P061A, P061B, P061C, P062B, P062C, or P168F? 

    Yes No
    DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. DIAGNOSE the next DTC. GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS AND DESCRIPTIONS . For DTCs P0600, P060A, or P060B, GO to  YA2.
    For all others, GO to  YA3.
  2. YA2 CHECK THE PCM VOLTAGE CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • PCM-B connector disconnected.
    • Connect a 5 amp fused jumper wire between the following:
      Point A PCM-B Connector, Harness Side Point B
      PCMRC Ground
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
    (+) PCM-B Connector, Harness Side (-)
    VPWR Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 10.5 V? 

    Yes No
    GO to  YA3. REPAIR the open circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  3. YA3 CHECK THE PCM FOR THE LATEST CALIBRATION 

    Are any DTCs present other than the following: P05EC, P0600, P060A, P060B, P060C, P061A, P061B, P061C, P062B, P062C, or P168F? 

    Yes No
    DISREGARD the current DTC at this time.
    DIAGNOSE the next DTC.    		 For DTC P061C, GO to  YA4.
    For DTC P062C, GO to  YA7.
    For DTCs P060B, P061A, or P061B, GO to  YA8.
    For DTCs P0600, P060A, or P062B, GO to  YA9.
    For all others, GO to  YA10.
  4. YA4 CHECK THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR FOR CORRECT OPERATION 
    • Verify correct operation of the CKP sensor and related circuits. GO to PINPOINT TEST D .

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to  YA5.
  5. YA5 CHECK THE CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR FOR CORRECT OPERATION 
    • Verify correct operation of the CMP sensor and related circuits. GO to PINPOINT TEST V .

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to  YA6.
  6. YA6 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN 
    • Use the customer information to recreate the concern.
    • CARRY OUT the PCM self-test.

    Is DTC P061C still present? 

    Yes No
    GO to  YA9. The system is operating correctly at this time.
    The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
  7. YA7 CHECK FOR DTCS IN OTHER VEHICLE MODULES 
    NOTE: If DTC P062C is retrieved after a PCM reprogramming, turn the ignition OFF for 5 minutes to allow the PCM to complete a normal power down sequence. Carry out the self-test before continuing with this pinpoint test.
    • Check for self-test DTCs in all of the vehicle modules.

    Are any DTCs present other than P062C? 

    Yes No
    For DTCs set in other modules, REFER to the applicable Service Information to DIAGNOSE and REPAIR.
    DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. DIAGNOSE the next DTC. GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS AND DESCRIPTIONS .    		 GO to  YA8.
  8. YA8 CHECK FOR PROPER TIRE & WHEEL CONFIGURATION 
    NOTE: Incorrect Tire Size/Wheel configurations may cause DTC P061A or P061B.
    • Verify the vehicle is equipped and configured for the proper wheel and tire size.
    • Compare vehicle TREAD Label or OASIS to actual current vehicle installation & module programmable parameter settings in the PCM or the BCM.

    Is the vehicle equipped and configured with the correct tires and wheels? 

    Yes No
    GO to  YA9. REPAIR as necessary.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  9. YA9 DRIVER DEMAND AND ADAPTIVE TABLE RELEARN 
    NOTE: Obey all traffic laws and regulations while performing the Adaptive Learn Procedure.
    • Drive the vehicle for 15 minutes while maintaining an engine RPM greater than 1, 400 RPM.
    • PERFORM 7 vehicle coast downs with foot off of accelerator for 10 second intervals during the 15 minute drive cycle.
    • PERFORM a cruise control activation at a speed that maintains an engine RPM greater than 1, 400 RPM during the 15 minute drive cycle.
    • CARRY OUT the PCM self-test.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    GO to  YA10. The system is operating correctly at this time.
  10. YA10 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
    • Visually inspect for:
      • Pushed out pins
      • Corrosion
    • Connect the PCM connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new PCM.
    REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) .
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector, incorrect or corrupt software.
