Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    If there are any other Throttle Body DTCs present, they must be diagnosed and repaired before continuing this test.

    NOTE:

    If there is a loss of communication with the ABS Module or implausible data from the ABS Module DTC present, diagnose and repair those faults before proceeding. A Loss of communication with the ABS Module will cause the PCM to default the vehicle speed to zero while driving and will false fail the idle speed rationality diagnostics, setting this code.

    1. Start the engine.
    2. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    3. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. PCV SYSTEM 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Inspect the PCV system for the following problems:
      • Leaks - cracked or damaged hoses or tubes
      • Poor hose or tube connections
      • PCV valve stuck open

      Were any problems found?

      Yes

      • Go To  3
  3. VACUUM LEAKS 
    WARNING:

    When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    1. Start the engine.
    2. Inspect the engine for internal leaks.
    3. Inspect any external components that can create a vacuum leak. Inspect the following items, but not limited too:
      • Vacuum supply lines
      • Brake Booster
      • Purge Solenoid
      • Engine seals

      Were any vacuum leaks found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. THROTTLE BODY OPERATION 
    1. Inspect the throttle body for carbon build up, other restrictions, and a bent throttle plate using a straight edge.
    2. If the throttle plate does not close entirely it may be bent and needs to be replaced.
      WARNING:

      When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    3. While the vehicle is running, perform a wire and connector wiggle test on the ETC Motor wiring and connections, and listen for idle to raise.

      Were any problems found or did the idle fluctuate while performing a wire and connector wiggle test?

      Yes 

      • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact at the Throttle Body and the Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the Throttle Body Assembly if no problems were found in the connectors. Disconnect the Battery when replacing the Throttle Body Assembly. After installation is complete, use a scan tool and select the Throttle Body Self Learn.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
