Go to Step 13

1. Visually/physically inspect for the following

conditions:

• Restriction of air intake system. Check for a

restricted air filter element, or foreign objects
blocking the air intake system.

• Check for objects blocking the IAC passage or

throttle bore, excessive deposits in the throttle
bore and on the throttle plate.

• Check for a condition that causes a large

vacuum leak, such as an incorrectly installed or
faulty crankcase ventilation hose/brake booster
hose.

Go to Step 18

1. Remove the spark plugs and check for gas or oil

fouling cracks, wear, improper gap, burned
electrodes, heavy deposits, or improper heat
range.

2. If spark plugs are fouled, the cause of fouling must

be determined before replacing the spark plugs.

Go to Step 21

1. Review all diagnostic procedures within this table.

2. If all procedures have been completed and no

malfunctions have been found, review/inspect the
following:

• Visual/physical inspection

• Tech 2 data

• All electrical connections within a suspected

circuit and/or system

Go to Step 22

Is the ECM programmed with the latest software
release?
If not, download the latest software to the ECM using
the “SPS (Service Programming System)”.
Was the problem solved?

—

Verify repair

Go to Step 23

Replace the ECM.
Is the action complete?
IMPORTANT: The replacement ECM must be
programmed. Refer to section of the Service
Programming System (SPS) in this manual.
Following ECM programming, the immobiliser system
(if equipped) must be linked to the ECM. Refer to
section 11 “Immobiliser System-ECM replacement” for
the ECM/Immobiliser linking procedure.

System Check

1. Perform a bulletin search.

2. If a bulletin that addresses the symptom is found,

correct the condition as instructed in the bulletin.

1. Using a Tech 2, display the MAP sensor value in

comparison with atmosphere temperature.

2. Check for a faulty, plugged, or incorrectly installed

MAP sensor.

Go to Step 8

Observe the throttle position display on the Tech 2
while slowly increasing throttle pedal.
Does the throttle position increase steady with
increasing smoothly?

diagnosis

Check the knock sensor wire, shield wire, or
installation condition.

Go to Step 10

Run Engine.
Check the fuel control Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S). When monitored on the Tech 2, the HO2S
should respond quickly to different throttle positions. If
it doesn’t check for silicon or other contaminates from
fuel or use of improper sealant. The sensors may have
a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination sends
a rich exhaust signal which causes the ECM to
command and excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
