NOTE: Diagnose any TP Sensor or MAP Sensor component DTCs before
continuing.
NOTE: If the P0501 - No Vehicle Speed Signal is set with this DTC, refer to
the P0501 diagnostics before continuing.
NOTE: The throttle plate and linkage should be free from binding and
carbon build up.
NOTE: Make sure the throttle plate is at the idle position.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII
t, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero?
All
Yes
→ Go To 2
No
→ Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Symptom (Diagnos-
tic Procedure).
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5.

NOTE: This code is enabled on engines with a plastic intake manifold and is
intended to shut down the engine if a large crack occurs.
NOTE: A large vacuum leak is most likely the cause of this DTC.
Inspect the Intake Manifold for leaks and cracks.
Inspect the Power Brake Booster for vacuum leaks.
Inspect the PCV system for proper operation or vacuum leaks.
Inspect the MAP Sensor for proper installation.
Were any vacuum leaks found?
All
Yes
→ Repair the vacuum leak as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5.
No
→ Go To 3

Start the engine.
With the DRBIII
t, monitor the MAP Sensor voltage.
Snap the throttle.
Does the MAP Sensor voltage vary from below 2.0 volts at idle to above 3.5 volts at
WOT.
All
Yes
→ Go To 4
No
→ Go To 11
4
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII
t, monitor the TP Sensor voltage while slowly depressing the
throttle pedal from closed to wide open throttle.
Does voltage start approximately at 0.8 of a volt and go above 3.5 volts with a smooth
transition?
All
Yes
→ Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Symptom (Diagnos-
tic Procedure).
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5.
No
→ Go To 5
