Diagnostic procedure

DTC P2144 - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Check for related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
2 CLASSIFY INTERMITTENT CONCERN OR CONTINUOUS CONCERN 
  • Turn key to OFF then ON (Engine off).
  • Is same DTC present?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Intermittent concern exists. Go to INTERMITTENT CONCERNS TROUBLESHOOTING procedure.
(See INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING .)
3 CLASSIFY OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT TO GROUND MALFUNCTION 
  • Disconnect EGR boost sensor solenoid valve tube that connects to intake manifold.
  • Connect vacuum pump to purge solenoid valve.
  • Pump vacuum pump several times.
  • Wait a few seconds  .
  • Is vacuum maintained?
Yes Go to Step 5.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT PASSAGE CONTROL OF EGR BOOST SENSOR SOLENOID VALVE 
  • Turn the ignition switch off.
  • Disconnect EGR boost sensor solenoid valve connector.
  • Pump vacuum pump several times and stop to pumps then wait a few seconds  .
  • Is vacuum maintained?
Yes Repair or replace harness for short to ground, then go to Step 10.
No Replace EGR boost sensor solenoid valve, then go to Step 10.
5 INSPECT POOR CONNECTION OF EGR BOOST SENSOR SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR 
  • Turn the ignition switch off.
  • Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT EGR BOOST SENSOR SOLENOID VALVE 
  • Measure resistance between EGR boost sensor solenoid valve terminals (part-side).
  • Is resistance within 37-43 ohms? 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace EGR boost sensor solenoid valve, then go to Step 10.
7 INSPECT EGR BOOST SENSOR SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN 
  • Turn key to ON (Engine off).
  • Measure voltage between EGR boost sensor solenoid valve terminal A (harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace harness for open, then go to Step 10.
8 INSPECT POOR CONNECTION OF PCM CONNECTOR 
  • Turn the ignition switch off.
  • Disconnect PCM connector.
  • Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair terminal, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
9 INSPECT EGR BOOST SENSOR SOLENOID VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN 
  • Connect EGR boost sensor solenoid valve connector.
  • Connect breakout box with PCM disconnected.
  • Turn key to ON (Engine off).
  • Measure voltage between breakout box terminal 93 and body ground.
  • Is voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace harness for open, then go to the next step.
10 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P2144 COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Turn key to OFF then ON (Engine off).
  • Is same DTC present?
Yes Replace PCM, then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
11 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
