Diagnostic Test

1. Check for any applicable Service Bulletins or Flash updates related to the DTC.

   Are there any applicable Service Bulletins or Flash updates?

   Yes 

   • Perform the applicable repair.
   • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

   No 

   • Go To  2

1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
2. For future reference, with the scan tool, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
3. With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
4. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition on.
6. Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Did the DTC return?

Yes 

• Go To  3

No 

• Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check the Throttle Body harness connector for proper connection at the Throttle Body.
3. Verify that the connector is completely plugged in and properly locked prior to disconnecting.
4. Disconnect the Throttle Body harness connector and check for any pushed out, damaged or spread terminals.

   Were any issues found with the connector or terminals?

   Yes 

   • Repair the damaged terminal or properly connect and lock the Throttle Body harness connector and retest for DTCs.
   • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

   No 

   • Go To  4

1. Refer to the recorded DTCs.

   Are there any Throttle Body circuit, system voltage or 5-Volt Reference DTCs present?

   Yes 

   • Perform the applicable diagnostic procedure(s). Refer to 3.6L (GPEC 2A) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .

   No 

   • Go To  5

1. The ignition must be off when checking the continuity of a circuit.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note:  Use the appropriate wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Before measuring the resistance of any circuit, first measure the resistance between the two leads of the DVOM. Note:  The meter leads can add resistance to the measurement value.
4. Connect one lead of the DVOM to the circuit being tested at the component harness connector.
5. Connect the other lead to the circuit being tested at the GPEC Adaptor and measure the resistance of the circuit.

1. If it is necessary to probe a terminal at a PCM harness connector, connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic) to the appropriate PCM harness connector.

   Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

   Yes 

   • Go To  6

   No 

   • Repair the circuit for an open or high resistance.
   • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

1. Reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. With the scan tool, monitor read DTCs.
   NOTE:

   The P0222-THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT LOW DTC should be active or pending with the connector unplugged.

4. Connect a jumper between the Throttle Body (K122) Position Signal 2 circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
   NOTE:

   The P0223-THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT HIGH DTC should be active or pending with the jumper in place.

   Does the scan tool read as described above?

   Yes 

   • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Throttle Body and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If no problems are found, replace the Throttle Body Assembly. Refer to THROTTLE BODY, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION . Disconnect the Battery when replacing the Throttle Body Assembly. After installation is complete, with a scan tool, perform the ETC RELEARN function.
   • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

   No 

   NOTE:

   Remove the jumper before continuing.

   • Go To  7

1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
2. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
   • Proper connector installation.
   • Damaged connector locks.
   • Corrosion.
   • Other signs of water intrusion.
   • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
   • Bent terminals.
   • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
   • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
   • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

   Repair any conditions that are found.

6. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
10. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
11. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

    Did the DTC return?

    Yes 

    • Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    • The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
    • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
