PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
| NOTE: | For vehicle communication problems, use the scan tool to refer to the Network Review Screen. The screen depicts a high level view of the vehicle network. Fault and problem areas appear in red. |
Does the scan tool display a Vehicle Network problem or NO RESPONSE condition?
Yes
- (Refer to 29 - Non-DTC Diagnostics/Communication - Diagnosis and Testing) and perform the appropriate No Response diagnostic procedure.
No
- Go To 2
Does the vehicle have a NO START condition?
Yes
- Check the vehicle for any DTCs, including Vehicle Theft Security related DTCs, which may cause a no-start condition.
- If no DTCs are present that relate to a no-start condition, (Refer to 29 - Non-DTC Diagnostics/Drivability - Diesel - Diagnosis and Testing) for procedures related to Fuel and Starting systems.
No
- Go To 3
3. VEHICLE REPAIR HISTORY AND TSB(s)
| 1. | Check the vehicle repair history for repairs that may relate to the current condition. |
| 2. | Inspect the vehicle for aftermarket accessories that may have been installed incorrectly. |
| 3. | Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the condition or DTCs. |
| 4. | If a TSB applies, follow the procedure outlined in the TSB. |
Select the appropriate response for the condition that applies:
Performing a TSB procedure repaired the condition.
- Test Complete.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
A DTC is present, no TSB applies, or the TSB didn't repair the condition.
- Go To 4
No DTCs or conditions are present.
- (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) and perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure.
| 1. |
Based on the diagnostic condition that applies, review the following list and perform any tests that relate to the condition:
|
| 2. | Using the scan tool, Clear the stored DTCs. |
| 3. | Attempt to duplicate the environmental conditions under which the DTC was set. |
| 4. | Review the DTC When Monitored and Set Conditions. If possible, try to duplicate the vehicle conditions under which the DTC conditions will be monitored. Operate the vehicle under those conditions. |
| 5. | Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the component and the module. |
| 6. | If the DTCs are fuel or air handling system related, check the fuel level and quality. |
Were any repairs made that corrected the DTC or condition?
Yes
- Test complete.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure) and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
