6. Clean both balancer shaft No. 2 journals and
bearing halves with a clean shop towel.
7. Place one strip of plastigage across each No.2journal.
Reinstall the bearings and upper balancer shaft
holder, then torque the bolts.
NOTE; Do not rotate the balancer shaft durinq
insDection.

bearings again, and measure the widest part of the
plastigage. lf the balancer shaft No. 2 journal oil
clearance is out-of-tolerance. install the new
bearings, and recheck. lf it is still out-of-tolerance,
replace the balancer shafts.

DTC Troubleshooting (cont'dl
DTC P0500: VSS Circuit Malfunction
1. Test-drive the vehicle.
2. Check the vehicle speed with the scan tool.
ls the correct speed indicated?
YES-lntermiftent failure, system is OK at this time.
Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the VSS and at the ECM.I
NO Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Block the rear wheels, and set the parking brake.
5. Raise the front ofthe vehicle, and make sure it is
securely supported,
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Block the right front wheel, and slowly rotate the
left front wheel.
8. Measure voltage between ECM connector
terminals A18 and A24.
ECM CONNECTOR A {31P)
Wire side of female terminals
Does the voltage pulse between 0 V and 5 V or
between 0V and battery voltage?
YES-Update the ECM if it does not have the latest
software, or substitute a known-good ECM. then
recheck (see page 1 1-6). lf the symptom/indication
goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the
original ECN4.l
NO Go to step 9.
