Diagnostic Test

READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR DTC TO RETURN
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 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
1. Perform the CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS test procedure. Refer to CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS .
  Were any exhaust leaks found?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the appropriate repairs.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK THE O2 SENSOR 1/2 (K141) SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR PROPER VOLTAGE AT THE O2 SENSOR 1/2 SIGNAL HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the component of the circuit being tested. Note: The ECU harness connector should still be connected during this test step.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Set the DVOM to measure DC voltage.
5. Connect the negative lead of the DVOM to a known good ground.
6. With the positive lead of the DVOM, measure the voltage of the circuit being tested at the component harness connector.
7. 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.
  NOTE:
  Normal operating voltage should be between 4.1 and 5.0 volts.
  
  CAUTION:
  Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
  
  Does the circuit have the proper voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Check the O2 Sensor 1/2 (K141) Signal circuit for a short to ground, open or short to voltage. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, 3.6L .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE (K904) SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT FOR PROPER VOLTAGE AT THE O2 1/2 SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the component of the circuit being tested. Note: The ECU harness connector should still be connected during this test step.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Set the DVOM to measure DC voltage.
5. Connect the negative lead of the DVOM to a known good ground.
6. With the positive lead of the DVOM, measure the voltage of the circuit being tested at the component harness connector.
7. If it is necessary to probe a terminal at a PCM harness connector, connect the to the appropriate PCM harness connector.
  NOTE:
  Is the voltage at 2.5 volts?
  
  CAUTION:
  Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
  
  Does the circuit have the proper voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Check the (K904) Sensor Return circuit for a short to ground, open or short to voltage. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, 3.6L .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE OXYGEN SENSOR FOR PROPER OPERATION
NOTE:
Check for signs of contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor 1/2, such as contaminated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant.
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the O2 Sensor 1/2 and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
4. Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Replace the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to UPSTREAM O2 SENSORS or DOWNSTREAM O2 SENSORS .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
