General Motors Corp. Self-Diagnostics - 4.6L
Cadillac; Concours
INTRODUCTION
If no trouble codes were found while performing BASIC

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault
codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics,
proceed to H - TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE
section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
NOTE: Electronic Control Module (ECM) and Powertrain Control

Module (PCM) are the same system. Terms are often used
interchangeably.
Self-diagnostic system consists of 6 components. These

components are Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) options, A/C Programmer (ACP) options, Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system, Traction Control system (TCS) and
Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) system options.
In addition to monitoring a particular set of sensors and
switches, PCM maintains continuous communication with each system
component. Should a component exceed pre-programmed limits, PCM will
recognize a malfunction and may act to control malfunctioning
component. To control a particular component, PCM rapidly switches an
internal circuit between zero and 5 volts, converting programmed
control information into series of pulses that represents coded serial
data messages. These messages are transmitted to malfunctioning
component, which interprets information and responds accordingly.
As a result, an alphanumeric code, known as a trouble code,
is often set in PCM memory. This trouble code identifies
malfunctioning component and can be accessed by a service technician
as an aid to diagnostic procedures. All trouble codes are displayed on
Driver Information Center (DIC) panel.
In addition to monitoring self-diagnostic system and
displaying trouble codes, PCM can be programmed by service technician
to perform specific diagnostic tests on individual components and
systems. Results of these tests are displayed on DIC. This article
covers accessing PCM trouble codes and programming self-diagnostic
system to perform specific diagnostic tests on system components.
ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
1) Turn ignition on. Simultaneously push OFF and WARMER

buttons on Climate Control Center (CCC). Continue pushing OFF and
WARMER buttons until segment check appears (about 3 seconds) on
Instrument Panel Control (IPC).
NOTE: Failure of any segment to glow may result in inaccurate test

results. Replace any inoperative segment display before
proceeding with self-diagnostic process.
2) When segment check appears (all segments glow), system has

entered self-diagnostic mode. Release both buttons. Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display diagnostic codes. Diagnostic code level
displays PCM codes first, followed by IPC, ACP, SIR, TCS and RSS codes
(if so prompted).
3) To proceed to desired level, press and release CCC HI (fan
up) button for "yes" or LO (fan down) button for "no". Depress LO
button to go to next test level (i.e., IPC?, ACP?, SIR?, TCS? or RSS?)
or depress OFF button to return to next selection in previous test
level.
4) To exit diagnostics, press AUTO or DEFOG button on IPC.
System will go back to normal vehicle operation.
DISPLAYING TROUBLE CODES
1) Trouble codes appear in ascending (3-digit) numerical

order and are prefixed by "P" (PCM), "I" (IPC), "A" (ACP), "R" (SIR),
"T" (TCS) or "S" (RSS). A final digit of either a "C" (current) or "H"
(history)" will also be indicated on every code. Diagnostic code level
displays PCM codes first, followed by IPC, ACP, SIR, TCS or RSS codes
(if so prompted).
2) For complete list of available PCM trouble codes, see PCM
TROUBLE CODES table. If no codes are present for a system, a "NO X
CODE" message (with X being system, i.e. "P", "I", etc.) will be
displayed. If communication line to a component is not operating, a
"NO X DATA" message will be displayed, indicating that IPC could not
communicate with that system.
3) To continue with system diagnostics, see SERVICE MODE
OPERATION. To exit from SERVICE MODE and go back to normal vehicle
operation, depress AUTO or DEFOG button on CCC.

SERVICE MODE OPERATION
NOTE: IPC, ACP, SIR, TCS and RSS systems can also be tested in
SERVICE MODE. Only information related to PCM diagnosis is
covered in this article.
After PCM trouble codes have been displayed, SERVICE MODE can
be used to exit diagnostics or individually perform other tests on
different systems.
Selecting System Level G - TESTS W/CODES - 4.6LArticle Text (p. 5)

Following trouble code display, first available system will
be displayed (i.e., PCM?). When selecting a system to test, any of
following actions may be taken to control display:
1) Depressing HI (fan up) button on CCC will select displayed
system for testing (i.e., PCM DATA, PCM INPUTS, PCM OUTPUTS, etc.).
See Fig. 2.
2) Depressing LO (fan down) button on CCC will display next
available system selection (i.e., IPC?, ACP? or SIR?). This allows
display to be cycled through all system choices. This list of systems
can be repeated following end of system list.
3) Depressing OFF button on CCC will stop system selection
process and return display to beginning of PCM trouble code sequence.
Selecting Test Type Level

Selection of "DATA?", "INPUTS?", "OUTPUTS?", "OVERRIDES?",
"CLEAR CODES?" or "SNAPSHOT?" test type may be displayed. See Fig. 2.
If dashes appear in DIC, test is not valid or test conditions are
wrong. While selecting a specific test, any of following actions may
be taken to control display:
1) Depressing HI (fan up) button on CCC will display a
specific output or test parameter for selected test type level (i.e.,
PCM data parameter PD01,etc.). See Fig. 2.
2) Depressing LO (fan down) button on CCC will display next
test type level for system level (i.e., PCM INPUTS?, PCM OUTPUTS?,
etc.). See Fig. 2. This allows display to be cycled through all
available test type choices. This list of test types can be repeated
following display of last test type.
3) Depressing OFF button on CCC will stop test selection
process and return display to next system level (i.e., IPC?).
Selecting Clear Codes

Selecting "CLEAR CODES?" test will result in "CODES CLEAR"
message being displayed with selected system name for 3 seconds,
indicating all stored trouble codes have been erased from memory.
After 3 seconds, display will automatically return to next available
test type level (i.e., PCM SNAPSHOT?).
After a code has been cleared, make a complete ignition
cycle and possibly a test drive. Ensure code does not reset.

PD77: Transaxle Oil Temperature

Display shows transaxle oil temperature in degrees Celsius
from -40 to 152.
PD78: Transaxle Shift Adapt

Display shows readings of -128 to +127 psi. This value is the
increase or decrease in transaxle line pressure that PCM is commanding
through the transaxle pressure control solenoid during the most recentG - TESTS W/CO
upshift or downshift. PCM increases or decreases line pressure during
shifts to control shift feel. Normal value fluctuates within a range
of 20 psi.
A value less than zero psi means PCM was lowering transaxle
line pressure during most recent shift to soften the shift. A value
greater than zero psi means PCM was raising transaxle line pressure
during most recent shift to firm up the shift.
PD79: Transaxle Steady State Adapt

Display shows pressure from zero to +127 psi. This value is
the increase in transaxle line pressure that PCM is commanding through
the transaxle pressure control solenoid during steady state, not
upshifting or downshifting condition. PCM increases line pressure to
control clutch slippage. Normal value is 0-10 psi. A value greater
than zero psi means that PCM has detected some clutch slippage (not
during transaxle shifts) and is raising transaxle line pressure to
decrease transaxle clutch slippage.
PD80: Transaxle Garage Shift Adapt

Displayed in seconds from-3000 to +3000. PCM increases or
decreases line pressure during garage shifts (shifts from Park or
Neutral to Drive or Reverse) to control shift feel. This value is the
increase of decrease in garage shift duration/length that PCM is
trying to achieve by adjusting transaxle line pressure up or down. A
normal value is between -1.0 and +1.0 second.

program stored in PROM for transaxle control calibration.
G - TESTS W/CO
PD98: Ignition Cycle Counter
Display shows counts from 1-50. Count increases by one with
each on-to-off cycle. When a trouble code sets, counter is set to
zero. If trouble code becomes history, counter will increase by one
with each key cycle until another code is set or until key has been
cycled 50 times, at which point code will be erased.
PD99: PCM Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) ID Code

Display shows a 4-digit code identifying program stored in
PROM for engine control calibration.
PCM SPECIFIC INPUT CODES

Fig. 6: SFI Chart C-1 Schematic, Fuel System Check
Fig. 7: SFI Chart C-1 Diagnostic Flow Chart, Fuel System Check
SFI CHART C-2, FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
This test determines if fuel system is providing fuel

pressure. Components involved include fuel tank, sender, pump, pipes
and hoses, pressure regulator, fuel rail, and injectors. Electrical
operation of fuel pump relay is also checked.
NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) If fuel pump does not operate with ignition on, diagnose

as if a Code P020 is set to determine cause. If fuel pump operates
with ignition on, check for clogged fuel filter or fuel line.
2) If fuel pressure is normal, check for proper injector
operation.
3) If fuel pressure is too high, pressure regulator is not
working properly, or cannot work due to a restriction in fuel return
line to fuel tank.
4) Fuel pressure leak-down can be caused by faulty pressure
regulator, a fuel pump check ball, or a leaking injector. Low fuel
pressure that does not leak down can be caused by a faulty pressure
regulator or a low output fuel pump.
5) If fuel pressure holds with fuse A5 removed (in engine
compartment fuse block), injectors No. 2, 3, 5 or 8 must have been
energized causing fuel pressure drop.
6) Checks if a short to ground on the low side of injector or
PCM was keeping injectors energized.
7) If fuel pressure holds with fuse A7 removed (in engine
compartment fuse block), injectors No. 1, 4, 6 and 7 must have been
energized causing fuel pressure drop.
8) Checks if short to ground on low side of injectors or PCM
was keeping injector energized.
9) Checks for physical cause of pressure drop, such as
leaking injectors, leaking fuel rail or pressure regulator. If no
leaks are found, fuel pump check ball is not operating properly.
Replace fuel pump.

SFI CHART C-3, INJECTOR FLOW & VOLTAGE DROP CHECK
This procedure compares fuel pressure drop when each injector

is pulsed for a set amount of time. Since each injector is pulsed the
same, fuel pressure drop for each injector should be about the same.
Faulty injector can be identified by either too high or too low fuel
pressure drop.
This procedure also determines if injector voltage drop is
within specification. Injector voltage dropping out of specification
can cause driveability conditions that are intermittent or that do not
show up during injector flow check.

1) Install Fuel Injector Tester (J 39021). Select PS05 for 5

seconds to energize fuel pump and build up fuel pressure. Select
individual injector with PS10 to check fuel pressure drop associated
with each injector. No fuel pressure drop indicates that injector did
not operate. This could be caused by a faulty injector or circuit
problem. A substantial injector fuel pressure drop indicates a faulty
injector.
2) Checks if fuse is open causing either injectors No. 2, 3,
5 and 8 or injectors No. 1, 4, 6 and 7 not to operate.
3) Checks if circuits No. 239 or 439 is open from fuse and
harness connector.
4) Fuel pressure must be released before testing to avoid
flooding.
5) Subtract .55 volts from highest recorded value (less than
9.5 volts) to establish the lowest acceptable value. Any injector
below the established value must be replaced.
6) Any injector with greater than 2 psi difference from the
other injectors is faulty and must be replaced. Inspect for deposits
and restrictions and investigate source of contamination.
7) Checks for open or shorted fuel injector or injector
circuit.
8) Checks if PCM cannot control injector or if PCM is not
receiving injector voltage due to an open between injector and PCM
connector.
9) Release fuel pressure before testing to avoid flooding.
10) Checks for open or shorted fuel injector harness.
Resistance should be 8-25 ohms.

on how to diagnose a fuel odor condition.
1) Vehicle should be operated under same conditions as when

leak/odor occurred.
2) Nylon fuel lines are not repairable and must be replaced.
3) EVAP system problem or a rich engine operation may cause a

stay running at minimum air idle.
2) Perform Code P030 diagnosis to identify cause of faulty
ISC motor.
3) This determines ISC authority. This is determined by
comparing minimum TP sensor value to the maximum ISC extend value. ISC
authority should be adjusted to 10-11 degrees of throttle angle.
4) TP sensor idle learn procedure must be performed after ISC
plunger adjustment.

POWERTRAIN CHARTS
POWERTRAIN CHART 1, POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK
POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK is an organized approach to

identifying a computer-controlled electronics problem. Understanding
chart and using it correctly will reduce diagnostic time and prevent
unnecessary parts replacement.
Use POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK to begin diagnosis if any
customer complaint does not directly relate to a specific subsystem.
If Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) fails to illuminate during
cranking, problem could be in PCM power supply circuit. POWERTRAIN
SYSTEM CHECK will direct technician to an appropriate diagnostic
chart, test procedure in appropriate article.
If DIC panel display is not operating properly, PCM self-
diagnostics mode cannot be used and POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK will
direct technician to an appropriate diagnostic chart, test procedure
in appropriate article.
If a trouble code is identified by PCM computer system self-
diagnostics mode, problem can be corrected following appropriate
numbered code charts. If no trouble code has been identified,
POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK will direct technician to an appropriate
diagnostic chart, test procedure in appropriate article.
1) Checks if system will enter diagnostics. If diagnostics

cannot be entered or displays are blank, problem exists in IPC or
related circuit. Diagnose system as follows:
* Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM connected to ground, backprobe

IPC connector cavities A1, A2, C12 and C14. Reading should be
greater than 10 volts. If voltage reading on one or more
terminal is not as specified, repair open or short in related
circuit. If voltage reading is not as specified on all
terminals, check charging system.
* If all of voltage readings are correct, turn ignition off.
Disconnect IPC connectors (Black and White). Measure
resistance between ground and IPC connector cavities A5 and
C16. If any measurement is greater than one ohm, repair
affected circuit or check/repair ground. If both circuits are
less than, reconnect IPC connectors.
* Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM connected to ground, backprobe
IPC connector cavity B2. If reading is 14 volts or greater,
check IPC connectors for good terminal contact. If contacts
are okay and diagnostics still cannot be entered, replace
IPC.
* If reading is less than 14 volts, disconnect radio head and
measure voltage at IPC connector terminal B2. If reading is
14 volts or greater, replace radio head. If reading is less
than 14 volts, disconnect IPC connector.
* Check continuity between IPC connector terminal B2 and
ground. If continuity is present, repair short in circuit. If
continuity is not present, replace IPC assembly.
2) Checks to see if IPC is able to communicate with PCM. If

DATA message will be displayed when diagnostics are used.
3) MIL should be on when vehicle is in diagnostic mode.
4) Checks if powertrain system is operational.
5) Checks if PCM codes are present.
6) MIL should be off if codes are not present.
7) Checks if known customer complaint is causing problem.
8) If complaint is not in customer complaint list, perform

Some powertrain components share common feeds and returns.

Certain failures of these circuits will cause multiple codes to set.
Flow chart indicates groups of codes set by failure of common feeds
and/or returns. If all codes in a group are set, perform diagnosis
listed in that box. If all codes in a group are not set, diagnose
lowest code number first.
1) Circuit No. 474 is 5-volt feed from PCM to MAP sensor, TP

sensor, EGR valve and BBV sensor. An open or short to ground in
circuit No. 474 between PCM terminal 3E16 and circuit S235 will cause
Codes P022, P032, P036 and P103 to set.
2) Circuit No. 452 is sensor return to PCM from IAT and MAP
sensors. An open in circuit No. 452 between circuits S237 and S138
will cause Codes P031 and P038 to set.
3) Circuit No. 452 is sensor return to PCM from IAT sensor,
MAP sensor and transaxle temperature sensor. An open in circuit No.
452 between circuit S237 and PCM terminal 2D1 will cause Codes P031,
P038 and P059 to set.
4) Circuit No. 808 is sensor return to PCM from EGR valve,
ECT sensor, BBV sensor and TP sensor. An open in circuit No. 808 and
S236 and PCM will cause Codes P015, P021, P036 and P102 to set.
5) Circuit No. 741 is battery feed from fuse D1 (engine

POWERTRAIN CHART 7, REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DIAGNOSIS
PCM provides .45-volt reference signal to oxygen sensor on

circuit No. 1670. When warm, a properly operating oxygen sensor will
drive .45-volt reference signal lower, indicating a lean mixture or
higher, indicating a rich mixture. This signal will toggle from rich
to lean rapidly, at least one toggle every 2 seconds, if PCM is in
good control of air/fuel mixture.
This chart is designed to be used after oxygen sensor
circuit and PCM operation have been verified through POWERTRAIN CHART
1, POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK and PCM diagnostic trouble code diagnosis.
This chart should identify oxygen sensors that are open (not
able to drive .45-volt reference signal) or shorted (sensor output is
fixed high or low, due to contaminants or internal sensor faults).
1) With engine running and coolant at normal operating

temperature (85øC or greater) and at fast idle, observe engine data
parameter PD33. Voltage should swing from less than .3 volt to greater
than .6 volt.
2) With engine at fast idle, observe open/closed loop status
light (AUTO indicator on CCC). If PCM switches system into closed loop
operation, oxygen sensor is okay. If PCM remains in open loop
operation and coolant temperature PD04 is greater than 185øF (85øC),
replace oxygen sensor.
3) If voltage remains .3-.6 volt for a minimum of one minute,
replace oxygen sensor and check cause of sensor contamination.
4) If there is no high voltage variation, check for
intermittent sensor terminal contact or faulty sensor.

PCM CODE CHARTS
CODE P012, NO 4X REFERENCE SIGNAL FROM IGN CONTROL MODULE
PCM checks for cam pulses being received without 4X reference

pulses. If PCM senses no reference pulses, engine will not start
because fuel delivery system is triggered by pulses and Code P012 is
set.
Engine will start and run after an extended crank with Code
P012 set. This is because the 24X reference pulses are being received
by PCM. PCM uses this signal for fuel control instead.
Test Conditions
Codes P035 and P041 not set. Code P012 is tested
anytime cam sensor signals are being received during engine cranking
operation.
Failure Conditions
If PCM does not receive 4X reference pulses for 4 seconds
while receiving cam reference pulses, Code P012 will set.
Action
PCM turns on Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
1) Checks to see if Code P035 is present because a REF LO

problem can cause other ignition problems.
2) If Code P012 is current, the condition still exists and
can be diagnosed directly. If Code P012 is history, look at snapshot
data to determine conditions under which code was set.
3) Check for proper output of electronic ignition system. If
voltmeter reads 4.1 volts or greater, ignition control module is able
to produce 4X reference pulses.
4) Checks to see if Code P012 was set while vehicle was
running or not, if MAP value is 80 kPa or less, or if engine was
running when code was set. Stray cam pulses with ignition on, engine
not running can also cause a false Code P012 to set.
5) Checks for 4X reference pulses on circuit No. 430 from
ignition control module to PCM. If PCM terminal No. 3E2 has been
between 30-100 Hertz, PCM is receiving 4X receiving pulses.
6) Checks if a faulty PCM is pulling the 4X signal low.
7) Checks for short to voltage on circuit No. 430.
8) Checks if ICM is providing proper reference signal to PCM.

circuit No. 1670. When oxygen sensor reaches operating temperature, it
will generate a counter voltage that will vary based on amount of
oxygen in exhaust. Rear oxygen sensor is located in manifold, before
catalytic converter.
A lean exhaust will generate a low voltage and cause .45-volt
reference signal to decrease. A rich exhaust will generate a higher
voltage and cause .45-volt reference signal to increase.
Code P013 will set when oxygen sensor cannot respond under test
conditions and generate a voltage greater or less than .45-volt
reference.
Code P013 will also set under following conditions:
1) Open in circuit No. 1670 or 1671.
2) Short to voltage on circuit No. 1670 or 1671.

Failure Conditions
Oxygen sensor voltage stays .307-.609 volt for more than 64
seconds (not toggling).
Action
PCM turns on MIL and closed loop is disabled. PCM enables
canister purge solenoid if Code P017 is set.
NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart. See

POWERTRAIN CHARTS for references to CHART 7.
1) Voltage on PCM data parameter PD33 should fluctuate from

less than 0.3 volt to greater than 0.6 volt. If voltage remain greater
than 0.6 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to voltage. If voltage
remains less than 0.3 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to
ground.
2) Measuring voltage using voltmeter will isolate
sensor/wiring problem from a PCM problem. If voltage fluctuates at
greater than 0.6 volt and less than 0.3 volt, fault is with PCM. If
voltage remains less than 0.3 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short
to ground or circuit No. 1671 for short to voltage. If voltage remains
greater than 0.6 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to voltage. If
voltage remains 0.3-0.6 volt, check circuits No. 1670 and 1671 for an

CODE P014, SHORTED ECT SENSOR SIGNAL
Engine coolant temperature sensor is located on thermostat

housing. ECT signal is on circuit No. 410. Sensor ground is on circuit
No. 808. As sensor temperature increases, resistance decreases. A high
coolant temperature will result in low signal voltage on circuit No.
410. Code P014 sets because engine coolant temperature cannot be
greater than 296øF (147øC) when intake air temperature is less than
212øF (100øC).
Test Conditions
Codes P037 and P038 are not set and intake air temperature
sensor value is less than or equal to 212øF (100øC).
Failure Conditions
Coolant sensor value greater than or equal to 298øF (148øC)
for 2 seconds.
Action
PCM turns on MIL and uses IAT sensor value instead of coolant
sensor value for all calculations during first 10 minutes of
operation; it then uses a value of 194øF (90øC). Transaxle shift
adapts are maintained at current levels.
1) With ECT sensor or wiring shorted, PCM parameter PD04

should indicate 148øC or greater. If PD04 does not indicate 148øC or
greater, sensor or wiring is not shorted.
2) Checks for shorted sensor or circuit No. 410. If parameter
value stays at 147øC or greater with sensor unplugged, short is in
circuit No. 410 between terminal "B" and PCM terminal 1B5.
3) Check PCM connector. Fault is most likely at PCM connector
or PCM.

CODE P015, OPEN ECT SENSOR SIGNAL
Engine coolant temperature sensor is a 2-wire thermistor,

whose resistance varies with temperature. Sensor signal is on circuit
No. 410. Sensor ground is on circuit No. 476.
As sensor temperature increases, sensor resistance decreases.
High coolant temperature will result in low signal voltage on circuit
No. 410. Code P015 sets because PCM assumes coolant temperature cannot
be -20øF (-29øC) or less when IAT is -9.4øF (-23øC) or greater.
Test Conditions
Codes P037 and P038 not set and IAT sensor value greater
than or equal to -9.4øF (-23øC).
Failure Conditions
ECT sensor value is -20øF (-29øC) or less for 2 seconds.

PCM turns on MIL and uses IAT sensor value instead of ECT
sensor value for all calculations during first 5 minutes of operation.
After 5 minutes, PCM uses a value of 194øF (90øC). Transaxle shift
1) If sensor or wiring is open, parameter PD04 should

indicate -29øC or less.
2) This checks for open sensor signal in circuit No. 410 from
PCM to sensor connector. If parameter PD04 indicates 135-151øC with
connector shorted, circuits No. 410 and 808 are okay.
3) Checks for open in circuit No. 808 from sensor terminal
"A" to ground splice. If shorting terminal "A" to ground causes
parameter PD04 to indicate 135-151øC, an open in circuit No. 808
exists.
4) This checks if PCM can recognize a short to ground or low
voltage on terminal 1B5, coolant temperature signal. If grounding
terminal 1B5 causes PD04 to indicate 135-151øC, circuit No. 410 from
PCM to ECT sensor is open.

CODE P016, ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE OUT OF RANGE
PCM monitors ignition feed voltage on circuit No. 539 to PCM.

Code P016 sets when system voltage drops to less than 10 volts or
increases to greater than 16 volts with engine running at greater than
500 RPM. If ignition voltage goes to zero volts (open circuit), engine
will not run since PCM does not have ignition signal.
Test Conditions
Tested continuously.
Failure Conditions
Engine speed at 500 RPM or greater. Ignition voltage to PCM
less than 10 volts or more than 16 volts for 5.0 seconds.
Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM turns off canister purge solenoid,
disables cruise control, de-energizes TCC solenoid and disables
transaxle pressure control solenoid. PCM allows only 2nd gear
operation when any forward gear is selected. Transaxle shifts adapts
are maintained at current level. Garage shift adapts are maintained at
current levels.
1) This checks PCM data for parameters PD15 and ID50. If

voltages are within 0.5 volts of each other, a system problem may
exist. If not, find out why PCM is different.
2) This checks if PCM data PD15 is actually displaying system
voltage.
Note On Intermittents
A loose or faulty alternator terminal "L" connector may
cause Code P016 to set intermittently.

PCM provides a .45-volt reference signal to oxygen sensor on

provide PCM .45-volt reference signal lower (less than .45 volt) to
indicate a lean mixture and higher (greater than .45 volt) to indicate
a rich mixture. If oxygen sensor does not vary from cold or not-ready
voltage under test conditions, PCM assumes sensor cannot respond to
air/fuel mixture changes and sets a Code P017.
Possible causes of Code P017 are:
* Open in circuits No. 412 or 413.

* Short to voltage on circuit No. 412 or 413.
* Oxygen sensor cannot respond.

Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM enables canister purge solenoid if Code
P013 is also set. Closed loop operation is disabled.
1) Voltage on PCM data parameter PD32 should fluctuate from

greater than 0.6 volt to less than 0.3 volt. If voltage remains at
greater than 0.6 volt, check circuit No. 412 for a short to voltage.
If voltage remains at less than 0.3 volt, check circuit No. 412 for a

CODE P024, VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS) CIRCUIT PROBLEM
VSS is a permanent magnet pulse generator mounted in

transaxle. PCM receives unbuffered speed information VSS. Code P024
sets if PCM detects vehicle speed of 5 MPH or less with transaxle
input speed (turbine speed) of 3000 RPM or greater for one second
while in any forward gear. To avoid any erratic cruise control
operation due to an intermittent problem, cruise control system is
disabled for the entire ignition cycle.
Test Conditions
Codes P056 and P091 not set. Transaxle in Park or Neutral.
Transaxle pressure switch indicating not in Reverse. Transaxle input
speed sensor indicating 3000 RPM or greater.
Failure Conditions
Vehicle speed at 5 MPH or less for one second.
Action
PCM turns on MIL and disables Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)
and cruise control for the entire ignition cycle. PCM will substitute
a calculated vehicle speed based on transaxle input speed and the
current gear commanded (gear ratio). PCM freezes transaxle in current
gear and torque management is disabled.
NOTE: Test number refers to number on diagnostic chart.
1) If Code P025 is current, fault is present and can be

diagnosed directly. If Code P025 is stored as history, refer to Code
P075 to diagnose fault.
2) VSS will generate a frequency of greater than zero Hertz
when spun by hand. If it does, PCM is faulty. If it does not, check
circuit or sensor for open or short.
Check for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) induced on
circuits No. 400 and 401 by running them close to spark plug wires or
high power transmitters (mobile radios) operating in vicinity.

PCM will substitute D4 for transaxle switch value if transaxle range
switch indicates Drive/Reverse and Park/Neutral if transaxle range
switch indicates Park/Neutral.
1) Checks PCM data PD71 for failure that is present in all

transaxle ranges ("1" is for open circuit and "0" for short to
ground).
2) Determines in which circuit the failure is present.
3) Checks if PCM is receiving correct voltage changing
between zero and 12 volts and not recognizing it.
4) If voltage remains at zero volts, circuit is shorted to

CODE P031, SHORTED MAP SENSOR CIRCUIT
MAP sensor output signal voltage is a DC voltage varying with

manifold pressure. PCM provides a 5-volt reference signal and ground.
MAP signal varies between zero and 5 volts as manifold pressure
changes. As MAP decreases, voltage decreases (low engine load, high
vacuum). As MAP increases, voltage increases (high engine load, low
vacuum).
PCM uses MAP sensor values to indicate engine load. A high
MAP reading indicates heavy load and low MAP indicates low load. Code
P031 is designed to set when PCM detects a MAP sensor signal out of
high limits.
Test Conditions
Tested continuously. Codes P021 and P022 not set. Engine
running with throttle angle at 20.5 degrees or less.
Failure Conditions
MAP value high for at least .25 second.
Action
PCM turns on MIL, disables long term fuel trim and uses a
substitute MAP sensor value based on engine RPM and throttle switch
status (open or closed). PCM disables torque management and transaxle
shift adapts are maintained at current levels.
1) If Code P038 is set, check circuit No. 452 for open or

short to voltage. MAP and IAT sensors share this same circuit.
2) PD02 will read 103-105 kPa if MAP sensor or circuit is
shorted.
3) If PCM data PD02 goes to 10-16 kPa with connector
unplugged, check for faulty sensor or circuit.
4) Checks circuit No. 432 for short to battery. If circuit is
okay, replace PCM.
Code P031 could be set during an
engine backfire, which cause a rapid increase in MAP value. Check Code

long term fuel trim. PCM disables EVAP canister solenoid. PCM disables
torque management and transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current
levels.
1) MAP at idle should be 30-50 kPa, depending on engine load.

BARO pressure should be 85-105 kPa, depending upon altitude.
2) Check for vacuum at fuel pressure regulator hose. At idle,
typical vacuum reading should be 14-20 in. Hg, depending on engine

Failure Conditions
Voltage difference between PCM ground and ignition control
module REF LO is 1.48 volts or greater for one second or REF LO
voltage is -1.46 volts or less for one second.
Action
None.
1) If value of PD09 is 1.1 volts or less, PCM ground voltage

is floating high, causing Code P035 to set.
3) Voltage measured at ignition control module connector C4
terminal "F" should be less than 0.1 volt. If voltage is higher, check
module for bad ground (module trying to ground through REF LO input to
PCM).
Code set due to an improperly mounted PCM, causing PCM not

Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM disables EGR solenoid for entire

levels.
1) Checks if EGR pintle position feedback is within a valid

range with EGR off.
2) This step forces a high signal on the feedback circuit and
checks for an appropriate result.
3) This step removes signal from feedback circuit and checks
for an appropriate result.
4) Jumper voltage should read 5 volts since 5-volt reference
line is jumpered to feedback line.
5) With EGR off (EGR overridden to zero), EGR pintle position
should read less than 50 counts.
6) With EGR valve commanded to 50 percent, EGR pintle
position should read 100-150 counts.
7) With EGR valve on full, EGR pintle position should be
greater than 200 counts.
8) Code P036 snapshot parameter PD07 (EGR pintle position)
can help determine the root cause even if problem cannot be
reproduced. A low pintle position (less than 9 counts) recorded in the
snapshot means a low feedback voltage caused the code to set. A high
pintle position (greater than 250 counts) recorded in the snapshot
means a high feedback voltage caused the code to set. An intermittent
pintle position (9-250 counts) recorded in the snapshot means that
code was set because PCM could not control the EGR solenoid either due
to intermittents in the solenoid (circuits No. 435 and 741) or EGR
valve is sticking.

CODE P037, SHORTED INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR
IAT sensor is a thermistor that varies its resistance with

temperature. As sensor temperature increases, resistance decreases.
High temperature will result in low signal voltage. Code P037 sets

Failure Conditions
IAT sensor value greater than or equal to 298øF (148øC).
Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM substitutes outside air temperature for
IAT. Transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current levels.
1) With a shorted IAT sensor, PCM parameter PD05 should

indicate 148øC or greater. If PD05 does not indicate 148øC or greater,
sensor is not shorted.
2) Checks for sensor short or circuit No. 472 shorted to
ground. If PCM parameter PDO5 stays at 147-151øC with sensor
unplugged, circuit is shorted to ground.
3) Checks shorted sensor or circuit No. 472 shorted to ground
inside intake manifold. If PCM data PD05 stays at 147-151øC with
sensor unplugged, circuit No. 472 is sorted to ground.
4) IAT sensors can be damaged by a backfire in intake. If
vehicle has had more than one IAT sensor replaced, check for signs of
backfire and high intake manifold temperatures due to improper valve

Vehicle speed at 7 MPH or greater for at least 5 seconds. Engine speed
at 500 RPM or greater for more than 20 seconds.
Failure Conditions
IAT sensor value less than 35øF (-37øC).
Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM substitutes outside air temperature for
IAT. Transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current levels.
1) If IAT sensor is open, PCM parameter PD05 should indicate

-37øC or less. If PD05 does not indicate -37ø or less, sensor signal
is not open.
2) Checks PCM and circuit No. 472 from PCM to sensor
connector. If PCM data PD05 indicates 147-151øC with connector
terminal "A" shorted to ground, sensor circuits and PCM are okay.
3) Checks for open sensor circuit No. 452 (ground). If PCM
data PD05 reads 147-151øC with sensor connector terminals "A" and "B"
jumpered, then circuit No. 452 and PCM are okay.
4) Checks if circuit No. 472 or if PCM is open.
5) Checks if circuits No. 452 or 472 or IAT sensor is open or
shorted to voltage.
6) IAT sensor can be damaged by backfire in intake manifold.
If vehicle has had multiple IAT sensor replacements, check for signs

compares them. PCM will set code when engine speed exceeds fault value
for a particular vehicle speed. This code can set due to an electrical
problem or slippage of TCC or transaxle clutches. If a TCC failure has
occurred, failure is more likely to be observed under high road load
(high MAP) conditions. Use code snapshot data to confirm failure.
Test Conditions
Codes P024, P026, P027, P028, P031, P032, P034, P056 and
P075 not set, transaxle in 3rd or 4th gear and engine running. TCC
commanded on (100 percent). Transaxle not in Park or Neutral. Throttle
position switch open. Delivered torque from engine not 32 ft. lbs. or
less (coast down condition). Delivered torque from engine not 508 ft.
lbs. or greater (engine under extreme load).
Failure Conditions:
3.11 Ratio (VIN Y) - Slip speed greater than acceptable value
based on engine torque delivered for 4.5 seconds. See chart.
3.71 Ratio (VIN 9) - Slip speed at 48 RPM or greater for 4.5
seconds.
Action
PCM turns on MIL. TCC disabled for the entire ignition cycle.
1) Testing TCC brake switch input to PCM PI71. If test

passes, display will change from HI 0 to HI X. If test fails, display
will not change.
2) Checks for open in circuit No. 420 between TCC solenoid
and TCC brake switch connectors.
3) Checks for open or short inside transaxle. Resistance
should be 10-40 ohms.
4) Checks if circuit No. 422 is open or if PCM in unable to
control output.
5) Checks PCM's ability to control TCC output.
6) Checks if TCC is operating correctly by checking amount of
TCC slip when clutch is engaged.
Note On Intermittent
Intermittent Code P039 nay be caused by delayed TCC
engagement (usually first apply after a cold start) or by TCC slippage
during high engine load conditions. Delayed TCC engaged can be checked
using PCM output override PS01 (TCC solenoid) to engage and disengage
and time how long it takes TCC to engage by watching PCM data PD73.
Delays of greater than 5 seconds may cause code to set.
TCC slippage during high load conditions can be determined by
looking at Code P039 snapshot data. High throttle angle (PD01), MAP
(PD02) may indicate a high load condition. Duplicating high load
conditions may cause the code to set.

circuit No. 412. When oxygen sensor temperature is less than 392øF
(200øC), sensor signal voltage will be about .45 volt and PCM will
keep system in open loop operation. When oxygen sensor temperature is
greater than 392øF (200øC), sensor will begin to generate a signal
voltage. In a rich environment, signal voltage will be greater than .
45 volt. In a lean environment, signal voltage will be less than .45
volt. If PCM is in good control of air/fuel mixture, mixture will
change from rich to lean rapidly (at least one change every 2
seconds).
When PCM sees oxygen sensor is generating a signal voltage
(greater than .45 volt), PCM will send system into closed loop
operation. In closed loop operation, PCM will adjust fuel delivery
rate to engine based on oxygen sensor readings.
Code P042 sets if oxygen sensor stays at lean voltage more than 50
seconds during test conditions. Code P042 also sets when an oxygen
sensor circuit fault giving a false lean indication exists or when
air/fuel ratio is actually lean due to a vacuum leak or fuel control
system fault.

coolant temperature 180-268øF (82-131øC), oxygen sensor ready (closed
loop), RPM at least 800 and MAP at least 32 kPa. Canister purge
occurred at full duty cycle for 2 minutes since engine was running and
throttle angle 10 degrees or greater. Long term fuel trim not in
effect.
Failure Conditions
Oxygen sensor status stays lean more than 50 seconds.
Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM turns on canister purge solenoid if
Code P044 is also set. Transaxle shift adapts are maintained at
current levels.
1) If Code P017 is present, diagnose this code first since an

oxygen sensor not ready can cause other emission related problems.
2) If oxygen sensor is operating correctly, voltage should
fluctuate at greater than 0.3 volt. A lean sensor condition will cause
voltage to remain at less than 0.3 volt.
3) If voltage measured is greater than 0.15 volt, PCM and
circuit No. 412 are okay.

transmitted at IPC request. Data are sent in 8-character blocks at a
rate of 8192 characters per second.
Data from PCM to IPC contain engine operating information.
PCM-IPC data include CTS, RPM and injector pulse width values so IPC
can control cooling fans, display RPM and calculate MPG for display at
Driver Information Center (DIC) panel. IPC sends PCM A/C status to be
used for idle speed control and ambient temperature for use in TCC
application and release decisions.
Codes P047/P107 are set in PCM in event of a UART failure. If
fault is a current failure, PCM will not be able to communicate with
IPC and IPC Code IO34 will be displayed as current. Code P047/P107 is
current in PCM but cannot be sent (displayed) to IPC because of UART
fault. If UART fault is corrected, Codes P047, P107 and IPC Code IO34
will be displayed as history codes.
Code P047 & P107 should be diagnosed using chart for IPC Code
IO34. Code P047 stored as history can indicate 2 failures:
* Open in circuit No. 800. Symptoms will be:
A - SYSTEM FAULT message on DIC panel.

B - MIL and CHECK INFO CENTER lights on.
C - Diagnostics entered; NO PCM DATA displayed on DIC panel.
D - When fault is repaired, Codes P047 and IO34 will show as
history codes.
* Grounded circuit No. 800 at any point. Symptoms will be:
A -

Test Conditions
Code P012 not set and engine speed greater than 500 RPM for
20 seconds.
Failure Conditions
PCM receives invalid data from IPC for 5 seconds.
Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM sets all data to zero. PCM boosts idle
to compensate for possible A/C clutch engagement. Cooling fan control
will be based on engine coolant temperature only.
1) If one code is set without the other, PCM has an internal

communication problem.
2) Checks if data link is not functioning at all.
3) Checks if PROM is seated correctly in socket.
4) Checks which components have data link problem to IPC.
5) Checks if IPC is having data link problem with PCM or if

CODE P048, EGR SYSTEM FAULT
To perform test, PCM turns off EGR flow to engine and

monitors oxygen sensor (closed loop) integrator. With EGR off,
integrator should swing to a greater value, reflecting leaner air/fuel
mixtures. If integrator does not swing to a greater value, PCM assumes
either EGR was turned off before test started or EGR is flowing and
PCM does not have ability to turn it off. PCM monitors EGR 5 times in
a given key cycle. If EGR does not respond 3 or more times during a
key cycle, Code P048 is set.
Test Conditions
EGR failed in entire ignition cycle. Codes P013, P014, P015,
P017, P021, P022, P024, P031, P032, P034, P042, P043, P044, P045 and

control was enabled. Coolant temperature 176-230øF (80-110øC), MAP
between 50-80 kPa. Engine speed between 1250-1850 RPM and vehicle
speed at 35 MPH or greater. Ignition voltage at 11 volts or greater,
and 5 seconds prior to test EGR system at full, rear oxygen sensor
toggles for 5 times per second and rear short term fuel trim is at 135
counts or less.
Failure Conditions
PCM turns off EGR system for 5 seconds. PCM monitors rear
fuel integrator for change. Oxygen sensor fails to indicate a leaner
mixture in at least 3 of 5 tests during key cycle.
Action
PCM turns on MIL. EGR is disabled for entire key cycle and
transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current levels.
1) Diagnose Code P036 first because it can cause EGR system

malfunction.
2) If rear bank long term trim is 15 counts or greater than
front bank long term trim, a fuel control problem exists. Use Code
P046 to diagnose.
3) Checks for a rich engine condition causing Code P048 to
set.
4) Checks if by using PCM overrides if EGR valve can be shut
off (less than 100 counts).
5) Checks if by using PCM overrides if EGR can be returned to
full on (greater than 200 counts).
6) Checks circuit No. 741 and fuse D1 for open.
7) Checks if EGR circuit is open.
9) Checks if PCM is open internally or if circuit No. 435 is
shorted to voltage.
10) Checks if EGR valve can correctly respond to PCM signal.

CODE P051 & P108, PROM CHECKSUM MISMATCH
PCM PROM contains data essential in running engine and

transaxle. Codes P051 and P108 checks the integrity of this data. RPM
is divided into 2 halves or sides in the PROM. Code P051 checks one
half of this data and Code P108 checks the other half.
Integrity of this data is checked by adding up the data in all
locations of the PROM, called the checksum. If checksum does not equal
to what it should, code is set. The checksum is only checked when
ignition is turned off and if it does not match, trouble code will set
next time ignition is turned on.

CODE P055, CLOSED TP SENSOR OUT OF RANGE

TP sensor is self-adjusting. With ignition off, PCM executes
a TP sensor learning routine. After ignition is turned off, PCM will
retract ISC until ISC throttle switch opens and throttle linkage is
resting on minimum air screw. PCM then stores TP sensor value and
calculates a correction.
If same correction factor occurs on 2 consecutive key off
cycles, TP sensor is corrected to zero degrees using correction factor
learned. If value needs correction by greater than 6.5 degrees, Code
P055 will be stored in memory at next key on cycle. Parameter PD01
displays incorrect TP sensor values.

2) Checks if TP sensor is really out of range or if TP switch
is open.
3) Checks TP sensor adjustment. PCM Data PD01, TP sensor
displays incorrect TP sensor so that it can be used to check TP sensor
adjustment.
4) If TP sensor is within range, ISC and throttle switch

CODE P056, TRANSAXLE INPUT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT PROBLEM
This test checks transaxle input speed sensor circuit

problem. If engine is running and vehicle is moving at greater than 10
MPH, then transaxle input speed must be non-zero. If turbine speed is
less than 50 MPH with vehicle speed of 10 MPH or greater, Code P056
will set.
Test Conditions
Codes P024, P075 and P091 not set. Transaxle not in Park or
Neutral. Engine running and vehicle speed at 10 MPH or greater.
Failure Conditions
PCM turns on MIL. PCM calculates transaxle input speed based
on output speed and gear ratio of gear commanded. PCM calculates slip
speed from calculated input speed and engine RPM. TCC engaged and
garage shift adapts are maintained at current levels. Torque
management is disabled.
1) With engine idling in Park or Neutral, PCM data PD72

should read 50-100 RPM less than engine RPM.
2) Transaxle input speed sensor should generate a frequency
of greater than zero Hertz with engine at idle. If frequency is not as
specified, check circuits No. 1230 and 1231 and speed sensor for open
or short inside transaxle.
3) Checks circuits No. 1230 and 1231 for open or short to
PCM. If circuit is okay, PCM is faulty.
Manipulate circuits No. 1230 and 1231. Look for EMI sources,
such as sensor wires running along spark plug cables or high power

CODE P057, SHORTED TRANSAXLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Transaxle temperature sensor resistance decreases as sensor

temperature increases. A high transaxle temperature will result in low
signal voltage on circuit No. 585 (Tan/White wire). Code P057 sets
when PCM sees a transaxle temperature reading of 298øF (148øC) or
greater (.08 volt or less).
Test Conditions
Test continuously.
Failure Conditions
Transaxle temperature sensor value at 298øF (148øC) or
greater for 5 seconds.
Action
PCM turns on SERVICE VEHICLE SOON message. PCM substitutes
engine coolant temperature value for transaxle temperature until
engine coolant temperature reaches 221øF (105øC) before it sets to hot
mode operation. Transaxle shift adapts and garage shift adapts are
maintained in current levels.
1) If transaxle temperature sensor is shorted, PCM data

parameter PD77 should read 298øF (148øC) or greater. If parameter does
not show this reading, sensor and wiring are okay.
2) Checks if circuit No. 585 (Tan/White wire) is shorted. If
parameter value stays at -18øF (-28øC) or greater with transaxle
temperature sensor connector disconnected, check for short between
sensor connector and PCM terminal No. 1B14.
3) Checks for short to ground on circuit No. 585 (Tan/White
wire) inside transaxle. If wire is okay, replace shorted transaxle
temperature sensor.

circuit is okay, check PASS-Key(R) module terminal contacts.
If code is intermittent, check for
short to ground or voltage on circuit No. 229, intermittent open in
circuit No. 229 or intermittent loss of power to module.
PASS-Key(R) Diagnosis
PASS-Key(R) system interfaces PCM and starter with a power
source, decoder module, starter enable relay, ignition switch and
instrument cluster. Before replacing PASS-Key(R) module, check system
for following common problems.
* Check ignition key pellet sensing contacts in ignition lock

cylinder. Look into cylinder lock. If contacts are damaged,
replace cylinder lock.
* Check PASS-Key(R), PCM and GAGES fuses.
* Check SECURITY indicator bulb in instrument panel.
* A defective resistor pellet within ignition key or incorrect
resistance value of key (15 different assigned values) will
cause vehicle not to start. Key must be correct electrically
and mechanically.
If incorrect key is used to try to start vehicle, decoder

will not allow vehicle to start for 2-4 minutes, even if after correct
key is inserted.

CODE P059, OPEN TRANSAXLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
Transaxle temperature sensor resistance varies based on its

resistance. As sensor temperature increases, resistance decreases. A
low transaxle temperature will result in high voltage in circuit No.
585. Code P059 sets when PCM sees a transaxle temperature sensor
reading of -31øF(-35øC) or less (4.9 volts or greater).
Test Conditions
Codes P014, P015 and P024 not set. Coolant temperature at
-13.0øF (-25øC) or greater and vehicle speed greater than zero MPH.
Failure Conditions
Transaxle temperature sensor at -32øF (-36øC) or less for 6
seconds.
Action
PCM turns on MIL. PCM substitutes coolant temperature value
for transaxle temperature until coolant temperature reaches 221øF
(105øC) then transaxle will be set to hot mode operation.
1) With transaxle temperature sensor or wiring open, PCM data

PD77 will read -35øC or less. If parameter does not show this, sensor
and circuit is okay.
2) Check for open in circuit No. 585 between PCM and sensor
connector. If PCM data PD77 reads 148-151øC with sensor terminal "M"
jumpered to ground, the circuit No. 585 and PCM are okay.
3) Checks circuit No. 452 for open to PCM terminal connector.
4) Checks PCM's ability to recognize low voltage on PCM
terminal 1B14 (transaxle temperature sensor input). If grounding PCM
terminal 1B14 caused PCM data PD77 to read 148-151øC, check for open
in circuit No. 585 between PCM and sensor connector.
5) Checks for open transaxle temperature sensor.

CODE P067, SET/COAST OR RESUME/ACCEL SWITCH SHORTED
When cruise control is on, system voltage is available at one

side of normally open contact of SET/COAST and RESUME/ACCEL switches.
If cruise control switch is in ON position, voltage is available to
switches when ignition is turned on. If SET/COAST or RESUME/ACCEL
switches were stuck on or shorted to power, cruise control operation
would begin. To prevent this, Code P067 will set and cruise control
operation is disabled if signal voltage from SET/COAST (circuit No.
84) or RESUME/ACCEL (circuit No. 87) is high continuously for 10
minutes. Cruise control will be disengaged until PCM sees a low
voltage on both of these signals.
Test Conditions
Failure Conditions

CODE P073, INTERMITTENT ENGINE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR SIGNAL
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor circuit uses 2 pull-

up resistors for temperature sensing. When sensor resistance is high
(indicating low temperatures), PCM uses 3.65-k/ohm resistor and 348-
ohm resistor in series. As temperature increases to 122øF (50øC),
sensor resistance will decrease to 973 ohms. This resistance
corresponds to .97 volt at PCM. At this point PCM shifts to single
348-ohm pull-up resistor to measure temperature greater than 122øF
(50øC).
PCM monitors voltage signal of circuit and assumes engine
operation causes coolant temperatures to change at slow rates. This
test monitors ECT sensor voltage. If PCM detects a large change in
sensor output voltage in a one-second period, code will set.
Test Conditions
Two seconds have passed since ignition has been turned on
and 2 seconds have passed since PCM had shifted ECT sensor pull-up
resistors. This occurs when sensor resistance indicates 122øF (50øC).
Failure Conditions
ECT sensor voltage changes .3 volt in one second.
Action
Code P073 is set. No service message is given.

1) Checks Code P073 snapshot value to determine if an

intermittent high or low resistance caused code to set. An
intermittent high resistance can be caused by an open in circuit No.
410 or 808. An intermittent low resistance can be caused by a short to
ground in circuit No. 410.

CODE P076, TRANSAXLE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID CIRCUIT
Transaxle pressure control solenoid regulates pressure to

maintain a desired transaxle line pressure under varying operating

pressure control solenoid in order to control line pressure.
A PCM internal current monitor is provided as feedback to determine
actual transaxle pressure control solenoid current draw. Current draw
is proportional to transaxle line pressure. If commanded versus actual
current draw is different by more than calibrated value or if
transaxle pressure control solenoid is energized at 100 percent duty
cycle for 3 minutes or more, Code P076 will set.
Test Conditions

1) Checks if Code P035 is set. REF LO problem can cause other

ignition problem.
2) If engine stalls, problem is with crankshaft sensor "B".
Engine will continue running with only one crankshaft sensor.
3) Checks crankshaft position "B" sensor for open or shorted
circuit. Resistance should be 800-1600 ohms.
4) Checks if circuits No. 470 or 1800 is shorted to ground.
If circuit is shorted to ground, resistance will be less than 100
ohms.
5) Sensor is okay if it is able to produce a DC voltage
greater than 0.25.
6) If engine stalls, problem is with crankshaft position

CODE P085, IDLE THROTTLE ANGLE TOO HIGH

PCM continuously learns base idle position. This base idle
position is the relationship of engine RPM to throttle position. PCM
is limited to a fixed amount of learned throttle angle that it can
apply. When this limit is reached, Code P085 will set. The cause of
this increase in learned throttle angle is usually deposits in
throttle body.
Test Conditions
Constantly monitored.
Failure Conditions
A/C on or off, learned idle throttle angle 3.9 degrees or
greater.
Action
PCM turns on MIL.
1) Checks for other throttle position sensor codes being set,

causing other throttle body problems.
2) Checks if throttle body deposits are causing the increase
in learned throttle angle. Check for loose fitting air duct or air
cleaner causing debris to enter throttle body.
3) Checks if ISC motor can retract far enough to close
throttle position switch.
4) Checks for proper operation of ISC motor.
PCM Code P085 may set due to an engine overheated condition
in which PCM will only allow engine to run on 4 cylinders, causing a
high idle throttle angle. If this occurs, clear PCM Code P085, reset
idle learn using PCM override PS13 and perform TP sensor/idle learn.

CODE P112, EEPROM FAILURE
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)

is used by PCM to store data even when battery power is removed. It
stores TP sensor/idle learned values, transaxle adapt values,
transaxle oil life index and cruise control lash/learn. EEPROM store
this information in several locations and if PCM detects a problem in
one location of EEPROM, it will store data in another location. If PCM
runs out of good locations in the EEPROM to store data, Code P112 will
be stored.
PCM stores the same data in its Keep Alive Memory so that
even if EEPROM is bad, Code P112 will set. Vehicle operation will
remain unchanged. Even after a code is set, PCM will continue to look
for good locations in the EEPROM to store data. If a good location is
found, Code P112 will become a history code. If Code P112 is present,
PCM must be replaced.

greater than 4.2 volts or drop to less than 0.3 volt. If either of
these conditions are met for 0.4 second, Code P132 will set.
Test Condition
Coolant temperature at greater than 104øF (40øC) and battery
voltage at 11 volts or greater.
Failure Conditions
Knock sensor feedback voltage at greater than 4.48 volts 9
(VIN 9) or 4.2 volts (VIN Y), or less than 0.3 volts (VIN Y & 9).
Action
PCM turns on MIL.
1) Checks if Code P035 is also present. A REF LO problem can

cause other ignition problems.
