Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: If DTC P0641 or P0651 is present with this DTC, diagnose DTCs P0641 and P0651 before diagnosing this DTC.


NOTE: If the ECM detects and stores a DTC, the ECM also stores the engine/vehicle operating conditions under which the DTC was set. Some of these conditions are displayed on the scan tool at the same time the DTC is displayed.


NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for an active DTC.


Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase ECM DTCs.
Turn the ignition off, wait 30 seconds, then start and idle the engine for at least 30 seconds.

NOTE: Engine idle speed must be below 850 RPM.


With the scan tool, read ECM DTCs.

Did this DTC set again?

Yes


No

2. HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Boost Pressure/IAT Sensor harness connector.
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Measure the resistance of the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit.

Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes


No

3. HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT



Measure the resistance of the Sensor Ground circuit.

Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes


No

4. HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT



Measure the resistance of the Boost Pressure Sensor 5-Volt Supply circuit.

Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes


No

5. BOOST PRESSURE/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Replace the Boost Pressure/Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase ECM DTCs.
Test drive the vehicle, pausing several times to cycle the ignition.
Monitor the scan tool for ECM DTCs.

Did this DTC set again?

Yes


No
