5 Volt Sensor Supply Circuit - Test

Usage:

C4.4 444
System Operation Description:

Use this procedure to troubleshoot the system when one of the following diagnostic codes is active or easily repeated:

  • 0262-03 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply voltage above normal

  • 0262-04 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply voltage below normal

The following background information is related to this procedure:

The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies regulated +5 Volts DC to the following sensors:

  • Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor through connector P228

  • Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor through connector P200

  • Engine Oil Pressure Sensor through connector P201

  • Analog Throttle Demand Sensors (if equipped) through P1 connector

The supply for the +5 Volt engine pressure sensor is routed from the ECM through the P2 connector to terminal 1 of each pressure sensor connector. The supply voltage is 5.0 ± 0.16 Volts DC. The +5 Volt supply to the Analog Throttle Demand Sensor is routed from the ECM through the P1 connector to the sensor pins "A".

A diagnostic code can be caused by the following conditions:

  • A short circuit in the harness

  • An open circuit in the harness

  • A suspect sensor

  • A suspect ECM

  1. Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.

  1. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.

  1. Use the electronic service tool in order to monitor the diagnostic codes. Check and record any active diagnostic codes.

    Note: Wait at least 15 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.

Expected Result:

One of the following diagnostic codes is active:

  • 0262-03 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply voltage above normal

  • 0262-04 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply voltage below normal

Results:

  • OK - Diagnostic code 0262-04 is active. Proceed to Test Step 3.

  • OK - Diagnostic code 0262-03 is active. Proceed to Test Step 6.

  • Not OK - Diagnostic codes 0262-04 and 0262-03 are not active. Proceed to Test Step 4.

Test Step 3. Disconnect the Sensors

  1. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.

  1. Use the electronic service tool in order to monitor the diagnostic codes.

  1. Disconnect the pressure sensors one at a time. If an analog throttle demand sensor is installed, then disconnect the throttle sensor. Wait for 30 seconds after the sensor is disconnected.

    Note: Diagnostic code 0262-04 will become inactive when the sensor that caused the 5 Volt diagnostic code is disconnected.

  1. Ensure that all the pressure sensors and the throttle demand sensors (if equipped) are disconnected.

Expected Result:

The 5 Volt diagnostic code is not active when all of the sensors are disconnected.

Results:

  • OK - Diagnostic code 0262-04 is not active when all of the sensors are disconnected.

    Repair: Reconnect all of the sensors except the suspect sensor.

    Proceed to Test Step 4.

  • Not OK - Diagnostic code 0262-04 is still active.

  1. Reconnect connector P1 to the ECM.

  1. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.

  1. Check for active diagnostic codes on the electronic service tool.

    Note: A "Voltage High" diagnostic code (open circuit) should be active for all of the following sensors:

    • Engine pressure sensors

    • Engine temperature sensors

    • Analog throttle demand sensors (if equipped)

Expected Result:

Diagnostic code 0262-04 is not active. A "Voltage High" diagnostic code (open circuit) is active for all of the engine pressure sensors, temperature sensors and throttle demand sensors (if equipped).

Results:

  • OK - Diagnostic code 0262-04 is not active.

    Repair: Replace all wires to the original configuration.

    Proceed to Test Step 6.

  • Not OK - The 5 Volt diagnostic codes are still active.

    Repair: Perform the following repair:

    1. Make sure that the latest flash file for the application is installed in the ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Flash Programming".

    1. Contact the Technical Communicator.

      Note: This consultation can greatly reduce the repair time.

    1. If the Technical Communicator recommends the use of a test ECM, install a test ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Replacing the ECM".

    1. Use the electronic service tool to recheck the system for active diagnostic codes.

    1. If the fault is resolved with the test ECM, reconnect the suspect ECM.

    1. If the fault returns with the suspect ECM, replace the ECM.

    1. Use the electronic service tool in order to clear all logged diagnostic codes and then verify that the repair eliminates the fault.

If an intermittent fault exists, the status will be highlighted and an audible beep will be heard.

Expected Result:

No intermittent faults were indicated during the "Wiggle Test".

Results:

  • OK - No intermittent faults were found. The harness and connectors appear to be OK. If you were sent from another procedure, return to the procedure and continue testing. If this test has resolved the fault, return the engine to service.STOP
