General Service Information
Serviceability Issues
Non-OEM Parts
All  of  the  OBD  diagnostics  have  been  calibrated  to  run
with OEM parts.  Accordingly, if commercially sold sensor
or switch is installed, it makes a wrong diagnosis and turn
on the MIL (“Check Engine” lamp).
Aftermarket  electronics,  such  as  cellular  phones,
stereos, and anti-theft devices, may radiate EMI into the
control system if they are improperly installed.  This may
cause a false sensor reading and turn on the MIL (“Check
Engine” lamp).
Poor Vehicle Maintenance
The  sensitivity  of  OBD  diagnostics  will  cause  the  MIL
(“Check  Engine”  lamp)  to  turn  on  if  the  vehicle  is  not
maintained properly.  Restricted oil filters, fuel filters, and
crankcase deposits due to lack of oil changes or improper
oil viscosity can trigger actual vehicle faults that were not
previously  monitored  prior  to  OBD.    Poor  vehicle
maintenance  can  not  be  classified  as  a  “non-vehicle
fault”, but with the sensitivity of OBD diagnostics, vehicle
maintenance schedules must be more closely followed.
Related System Faults
Many  of  the  OBD  system  diagnostics  will  not  run  if  the
ECM detects a fault on a related system or component.
Visual/Physical Engine Compartment
Inspection
Perform  a  careful    visual  and  physical  engine
compartment inspection when performing any diagnostic
procedure  or  diagnosing  the  cause  of  an  emission  test
failure.  This can often lead to repairing a problem without
further steps.  Use the following guidelines when
performing a visual/physical inspection:
Inspect  all  vacuum  hoses  for  punches,  cuts,
disconnects, and correct routing.
Inspect  hoses  that  are  difficult  to  see  behind  other
components.
Inspect all wires in the engine compartment for proper
connections, burned or chafed spots, pinched wires,
contact with sharp edges or contact with hot exhaust
manifolds or pipes.
Basic Knowledge of Tools Required
NOTE: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when
performing  diagnostic  procedures  could  result  in  an
incorrect  diagnosis  or  damage  to  powertrain
components.    Do  not  attempt  to  diagnose  a  powertrain
problem without this basic knowledge.
A basic understanding of hand tools is necessary to effec-
tively use this section of the Service Manual.
Serial Data Communications
Class II Serial Data Communications
This vehicle utilizes the “Class II” communication system.
Each bit of information can have one of two lengths: longor  short.    This  allows  vehicle  wiring  to  be  reduced  by
transmitting and receiving multiple signals over a single
wire.  The messages carried on Class II data streams are
also  prioritized.    If  two  messages  attempt  to  establish
communications on the data line at the same time, only
the message with higher priority will continue.  The device
with the lower priority message must wait.
On this vehicle the Tech 2 displays the actual values for
vehicle parameters.   It  will  not be  necessary to perform
any conversions from coded values to actual values.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
On-Board Diagnostic Tests
A diagnostic test is a series of steps, the result of which is
a pass or fail reported to the diagnostic executive.  When
a  diagnostic  test  reports  a  pass  result,  the  diagnostic
executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.
The  diagnostic  test  has  passed  during  the  current
ignition cycle.
The  fault  identified  by  the  diagnostic  test  is  not
currently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the diagnostic
executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is currently
active.
The fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
The operating conditions at the time of the failure.
Comprehensive Component Monitor
Diagnostic Operation
Comprehensive  component  monitoring  diagnostics  are
required to operate engine properly.
Input Components:
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity and
out-of-range  values.    This  includes  rationality  checking.
Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when the
signal  from  a  sensor  does  not  seem  reasonable.  Accel
Position (AP) sensor that indicates high throttle position
at  low  engine  loads  or  MAP  voltage.  Input  components
may include, but are not limited to the following sensors:
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
Intake throttle Position (ITP) Sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Manifold absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
Accel Position Sensor
Fuel Temp Sensor
Rail Pressure Sensor
Oil Temp Sensor
EGR Pressure Sensor

Output Components:
Output components are diagnosed for proper response to
control  module  commands.    Components  where
functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for
circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not
limited to, the following circuit:
EGR VSV
EGR EVRV
Electronic Transmission controls
Injector
Intake throttle
Glow plug
MIL control
Refer to ECM and Sensors in General Descriptions.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors a
vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active test,
actually  takes  some  sort  of  action  when  performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed passive
test.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This  is  any  on-board  test  run  by  the  Diagnostic
Management  System  which  may  have  an  effect  on
vehicle performance or emission levels.
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature must
reach a minimum of 70
C (160F) and rise at least 22C
(40
F) over the course of a trip.
Freeze Frame
Freeze  Frame  is  an  element  of  the  Diagnostic
Management  System  which  stores  various  vehicle
information  at  the  moment  an  emissions-related  fault  is
stored in memory and when the MIL is commanded on.
These data can help to identify the cause of a fault. Refer
to 
Storing  And  Erasing  Freeze  Fame  Data for more
detailed information.
Failure Records
Failure  Records  data  is  an  enhancement  of  the  OBD
Freeze  Frame  feature.  Failure  Records  store  the  same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will store
that information for any fault which is stored in on-board
memory, while Freeze Frame stores information only for
emission-related faults that command the MIL on.
Common OBD Terms
Diagnostic
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
on-board  test  run  by  the  vehicle’s  Diagnostic
Management System. A diagnostic is simply a test run on
a  system  or  component  to  determine  if  the  system  or
component is operating according to specification. There
are many diagnostics, shown in the following list:
EGR

The Diagnostic Executive
The  Diagnostic  Executive  is  a  unique  segment  of
software  which  is   designed to  coordinate and prioritize
the diagnostic procedures as well as define the protocol
for  recording  and  displaying  their  results.    The  main
responsibilities of the Diagnostic Executive are listed as
follows:
Commanding the MIL (“Check Engine” lamp) on and
off
DTC logging and clearing
Freeze Frame data for the first emission related DTC
recorded
Current status information on each diagnostic
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are designed
to locate a faulty circuit or component through a process
of logical decisions.  The charts are prepared with the
requirement  that  the  vehicle  functioned  correctly  at  the
time  of  assembly  and  that  there  are  not  multiple  faults
present.
There  is  a  continuous  self-diagnosis  on  certain  control
functions.  This diagnostic capability is complemented by
the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual.  The
language of communicating the source of the malfunction
is  a  system  of  diagnostic  trouble  codes.  When  a
malfunction  is  detected  by  the  control  module,  a
diagnostic  trouble  code  is  set  and  the  Malfunction
Indicator  Lamp  (MIL)  (“Check  Engine”  lamp)  is
illuminated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as
the  MIL  you  are  already  familiar  with  “Check  Engine”
lamp.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the ECM detects a
DTC that will impact the vehicle emissions.
When  the  MIL  remains  “ON”  while  the  engine  is
running, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability  or  emissions  problem,  a  Powertrain
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check must be
performed.    The  procedures  for  these  checks  are
given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check.
These  checks  will  expose  faults  which  may  not  be
detected if other diagnostics are performed first.

Guid to the System
Fuel  Injection  system  is  an  HEUI  (Hydraulically
Actuated,  Electronically  Controlled,  Unit,  Injector)
type.  In  this  type  of  injector  system,  the  oil
pressurized  by  means  of  High  Pressure  Oil  Pump
(16) is fed through Rail Pressure Control Valve (10)
and  Oil  Rail  (7)  to  Injector  (29)  from  which  fuel  is
injected under this oil pressure.
For diagnosis, therefore, the Rail Pressure as well as
the Electric Circuit must be inspected.

Engine Control Module ECM
Diagnosis
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a Tech 2.
IMPORTANT:Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear
diagnostic  trouble  codes  from  the  ECM  memory.
Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning
the  ignition  “OFF”  and  disconnecting  the  battery  power
from the ECM for 30 seconds.  Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the ECM will cause
all  diagnostic  information  in  the  ECM  memory  to  be
cleared.  Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be
re-run.
Since the ECM can have a failure which may affect only
one  circuit,  following  the  diagnostic  procedures  in  this
section  will  determine  which  circuit  has  a  problem  and
where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the ECM connections
or  the  ECM  is  the  cause  of  a  problem,  and  the  ECM  is
replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the
following may be the reason:
There  is  a  problem  with  the  ECM  terminal
connections.  The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
The  problem  is  intermittent.    This  means  that  the
problem is not present at the time the system is being
checked.  In this case, refer to the 
Symptoms portion
of the manual and make a careful physical inspection
of    all  components  and  wiring  associated  with  the
affected system.
There  is  a  shorted  solenoid,  relay  coil,  or  harness.
Solenoids and relays are turned “ON” and “OFF” by
the  ECM  using  internal  electronic  switches  called
drivers.  A shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness will
not damage the  ECM but will cause the solenoid or
relay to be inoperative.
Multiple ECM Information Sensor
DTCS Set
Circuit Description
The  Engine  Control  Module  ECM  monitors  various
sensors  to  determine  the  engine  operating  conditions.
The  ECM  controls  fuel  delivery,  spark  advance,
transmission  operation, and  emission  control  device
operation based on the sensor inputs.
The ECM provides a sensor ground to all of the sensors.
The ECM applies 5 volts through a pull-up resistor, and
determines  the  status  of  the  following  sensors  by
monitoring the voltage present between the 5-volt supply
and the resistor:
The fuel temperature (FT) sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
The Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The  ECM  provides  the  following  sensors  with  a  5-volt
reference and a sensor ground signal:
The Intake throttle position sensor
The manifold absolute pressure sensor
The rail pressure sensor
The accelerator position sensor
The oil temperature sensor
The camshaft position sensor
The crankshaft position sensor
The EGR pressure sensor
The ECM monitors the signals from these sensors in
order to determine their operating status.
Diagnostic Aids
IMPORTANT:Be  sure  to  inspect  ECM  and  engine
grounds for being secure and clean.

cause one or more of the following DTCs to be set:
P0337
P0342
P1193
P1404
P1405
P1488
IMPORTANT:If a sensor input circuit has been shorted
to  voltage,  ensure  that  the  sensor  is  not  damaged.  A
damaged  sensor  will  continue  to  indicate  a  high  or  low
voltage after the affected circuit has been repaired.  If the
sensor has been damaged, replace it.

Engine Cranks But Will Not Run
Circuit Description
In this type of injector system, the Engine Control Module
(ECM) triggers the correct driver inside the injector, which
then triggers the correct injector based on the 57X signal
received from the crankshaft position sensor (CKP).
During crank, the ECM monitors the CKP 57X signal.  The
CKP  signal  is  used  to  determine  which  cylinder  will  fire
first.  After the CKP 57X signal has been processed by the
ECM, it will command all four injectors to allow a priming
shot  of  fuel  for  all  the  cylinders.    After  the  priming,  the
injectors are left “OFF” during the next four 57X reference
pulses from the CKP.  This allows each cylinder a chance
to use the fuel from the priming shot.  During this waiting
period, a camshaft position (CMP) signal pulse will have
been received by the ECM.  The CMP signal allows the
ECM  to  operate  the  injectors  sequentially  based  on
camshaft position.  If the camshaft position signal is not
present  at  start-up,  the  ECM  will  begin  sequential  fuel
delivery with a 1-in-4 chance that fuel delivery is correct.
The  engine  will  run without  a CMP  signal,  but  will set  a
DTC code.
Diagnostic Aids
An  intermittent  problem  may  be  caused  by  a  poor
connection,  rubbed-through  wire  insulation  or  a  wirebroken  inside  the  insulation.    Check  for  the  following
items:
Poor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
ECM  harness  and  connectors for improper mating,
broken  locks,  improperly  formed  or  damaged
terminals,  poor  terminal-to-wore  connection,  and
damaged harness.
Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor – Using a
Tech  2,  compare  engine  coolant  temperature  with
manifold air temperature on a completely cool engine.
Test Description
Number(s)  below  refer  to  the  step  number(s)  on  the
Diagnostic Chart.
4. An obvious cause of low fuel pressure would be an
empty fuel tank.
5. The engine will easily start and run if a few injectors
are disabled.  It is not necessary to test all injectors
at this time since this step is only a test to verify that
all of the injectors have not been disabled by fuel
contamination.
8.If there is an open or shorted driver circuit, DTCs
0201-0204 should be set.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0192 (Flash DTC 63) 
Rail Pressure Sensor Low Voltage
060RW135
Circuit Description
The rail pressure (RP) sensor responds to changes in oil
manifold pressure.
The ECM monitors the RP signals for voltages outside the
normal range of the RP sensor.  If the ECM detects a RP
signal voltage that is excessively low, DTC P0192 will be
set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The  ECM  will  store  conditions  which  were  present
when  the  DTC  was  set  as  Freeze  Frame  and  in  the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0192 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info”  function  or  by  disconnecting  the  ECM  battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM – Inspect harness connectors
for  backed-out  terminals,  improper  mating,  broken
locks,  improperly  formed  or  damaged  terminals,  and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged  harness  –  Inspect  the  wiring  harness  for
damage.  If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
RP display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to the sensor.  A change in the
display will indicate the location of the fault.
If  DTC  P0192  cannot  be  duplicated,  the  information
included  in  the  Failure  Records  data  can  be  useful  in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
If  it  is  determined  that  the  DTC  occurs  intermittently,
performing the DTC P0192 Diagnostic Chart may isolate
the cause of the fault.
