Repair: If the preceding codes are logged but not active and the engine is not running properly, refer to Troubleshooting, "Troubleshooting without a Diagnostic Code". If the engine is running properly at this time, an intermittent condition may be causing the logged codes. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
Stop.
Test Step 3. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
- Thoroughly inspect the J2/P2 ECM connector and the connectors for each pressure sensor. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
- Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector and the sensor connectors that are associated with the active diagnostic code.
- Check the ECM connector (allen head screw) for the proper torque of 6.0 N·m (55 lb in).
- Check the harness and wiring for abrasions and for pinch points from the sensors back to the ECM.
Expected Result:
All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted. The harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.
Results:
- OK - Proceed to Test Step 4.
- Not OK -
Repair: Repair the connectors or wiring and/or replace the connectors or wiring. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are completely coupled.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.Clear all logged diagnostic codes.
Stop.
Test Step 4. Verify that the Diagnostic Code is Still Active
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON position. Wait at least 15 seconds for activation of the diagnostic codes.
- Monitor the "Active Diagnostic Code " screen on the electronic service tool. Record any active diagnostic codes.
- Determine if the problem is related to an open circuit diagnostic code or a short circuit diagnostic code.
Expected Result:
Either a short circuit diagnostic code is active or an open circuit diagnostic code is active.
Results:
- SHORT Circuit - A short circuit diagnostic code is active at this time. Proceed to Test Step 5.

- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
- Disconnect the sensor connector of the sensor with the short circuit diagnostic code.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON position. Wait at least 15 seconds for activation of the diagnostic codes.
- Access the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on the electronic service tool. Check for an active open circuit diagnostic code.
Expected Result:
An open circuit diagnostic code for the disconnected sensor is now active.
Results:
- OK - A short circuit diagnostic code was active before disconnecting the sensor. An open circuit diagnostic code became active after disconnecting the sensor. Proceed to Test Step 7.
- Not OK - There is a short circuit between the sensor harness connector and the ECM. Leave the sensor disconnected. Proceed to Test Step 9.
Test Step 6. Measure the Sensor Supply Voltage
Illustration 3 | g00810608 |
Terminals for pressure sensors |
- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
- Disconnect the sensor from the engine harness.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage from terminal "A" (Analog Sensor Power +5V) to terminal "B" (Analog Sensor Common) on the engine harness side of the connector.
Expected Result:
The voltage between terminal "A" and terminal "B" measures 4.5 to 5.5 VDC.
Results:
- OK - The sensor supply voltage is correct. Proceed to Test Step 8.
- Not OK - The sensor supply voltage is out of the specified range.
Repair: Proceed to the following procedure: Troubleshooting, "Analog Sensor Supply Circuit - Test"
Stop.
Test Step 7. Determine if the Short Circuit is in the Connector or in the Sensor
- Thoroughly inspect the connector for moisture.
- Inspect the seals and reconnect the sensor.
- If the short circuit diagnostic code reappears, the sensor or the pigtail harness connector is the problem.
- Temporarily connect a new sensor to the harness, but do not install the new sensor in the engine.
- Check for a short circuit diagnostic code while the new sensor is connected to the harness.
Expected Result:
The short circuit diagnostic code is not present when a new sensor is connected.
Results:
- OK - Verify that the repair eliminates the problem. Permanently install the new sensor. Clear the logged diagnostic codes. Stop.
- Not OK - Repair the engine harness connector. Stop.
Test Step 8. Create a Short Circuit Between the Signal and the Common Terminals at the Engine Harness Connector
Illustration 4 | g00810608 |
Terminals for pressure sensors |
- Fabricate a jumper wire 150 mm (6 inch) long. Crimp a Deutsch terminal to both ends of the wire.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
- Monitor the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on the electronic service tool before installing the jumper wire and after installing the jumper wire.
- Install the jumper on the engine harness connector for the suspect sensor. Install one end of the jumper on terminal C (Signal). Install the other end of the jumper on terminal B (Common). Wait at least 15 seconds for activation of the short circuit diagnostic code.

- Fabricate a jumper wire approximately 150 mm (6 inch) long. Crimp a Deutsch socket on one end of the wire. Install an alligator clamp on the other end of the wire.
- Insert the socket end of the jumper wire in the terminal for the suspect sensor signal. Connect the alligator clamp to the ECM ground strap.
A short circuit diagnostic code should be active when the jumper wire is installed.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON position. Monitor the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on the electronic service tool. Wait at least 15 seconds for activation of the code.
A short circuit diagnostic code should be active when the jumper wire is installed.

Test Step 10. Bypass the Wiring Harness Between the ECM and the Sensor Connector
- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
- Remove the sensor signal wire from the ECM connector on the engine harness.
- Remove the wire from terminal C (Signal) on the engine harness side of the sensor connector.
- Fabricate a jumper wire that is long enough to reach from the ECM to the sensor connector or use an engine sensor harness bypass with 3 terminals.
Note: If an engine sensor harness bypass is being made, crimp a Deutsch socket on one end in order to connect to the ECM. Crimp either a Deutsch pin or a Deutsch socket on the other end, as required.
- Insert the engine sensor harness bypass into the appropriate terminal in the ECM connector for the suspect sensor's signal wire. Insert the other end of the engine sensor harness bypass into terminal C (Signal) of the sensor connector.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
- Monitor the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on the electronic service tool for either the open circuit diagnostic code or the short circuit diagnostic code for the sensor.
Expected Result:
The diagnostic code disappears when the jumper or the bypass is installed.
