TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1NOTE: If a system undervoltage or overvoltage DTC is set along with this
DTC, diagnose the system voltage DTC first.
NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio) interference can cause an intermittent
system malfunction by interrupting communication between the sensor
and the CAB.
NOTE: The Steering Angle Sensor is very sensitive to changes due to
alignment problems. The sensor must be recalculated using the DRBIIItif
alignment has been changed by more than 5 degrees.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIIIt, erase DTCs.
Test drive the vehicle.
Using the DRBIIIt, perform the road test procedure.
With the DRBIIIt, read DTCs.
NOTE: If the ESP lamp remains illuminated after the test has completed, a
fault code will be set indicating the cause of the failure.
Does this DTC reset?All
Ye s!Go To 2
No!Go To 3
2NOTE: When the vehicle is in a turn, the ESP compares the Steering Angle
Sensor value and the speed of the inner and outer wheels to determine if the
values are plausible.
Inspect the front end and steering components for damage or misalignment.
Inspect the steering column and Steering Angle Sensor for correct mounting and
installation.
Inspect the tires and wheels to make sure that they are the correct size. All tires must
be the same size.
Inspect the left and right Wheel Speed Sensors to make sure they are connected
correctly, i.e. left harness connected to left sensor, etc.
Were any problems found?All
Ye s!Repair or replace components as necessary in accordance with the
Service Information.
No!Replace the Steering Angle Sensor in accordance with the Service
Information.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all specifications, instructions and graphics needed
to diagnose engine control module (ECM) and sen-
try key remote entry module (SKREEM) problems;
they are no start, diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and
no trouble code problems for the ECM. The diagnos-
tics in this manual are based on the trouble condi-
tion or symptom being present at the time of diag-
nosis.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU REVIEW THE ENTIRE MANUAL TO
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL NEW AND
CHANGED DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.
This manual will cover all the necessary require-
ments to begin a logical diagnostic path for each
problem. If there is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
detected, go to the trouble code test. If there are no
DTCs present, go to a no trouble code (*), symptom
based test.
This book reflects many suggested changes from
readers of past issues. After using this book, if you
have any comments or recommendations, please fill
out the form at the back of the book and mail it back
to us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers 2005
Sprinter vehicles equipped with the 2.7L common
rail diesel engine.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the engine control module (ECM)
and sentry key immobilizer system (SKREEM) is
done in six basic steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptom
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
NOTE: All tests in this manual should be per-
formed with the engine at operating temperature,
unless otherwise specified within a particular test.
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The ECM is located to the left of the steering
column behind the steering column opening cover.
The sentry remote entry module (SKREEM) is
attached to the rear of the instrument cluster.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2.7L direct injection diesel engine system is
equipped with the latest technical advances. The
on-board diagnostics incorporated in the engine
control module and SKREEM are intended to assist
the field technician in repairing vehicle problems by
the quickest means.
The engine system incorporates a common rail
fuel delivery design with exhaust emission feed-
back. This design utilizes electronically controlled
solenoid valve type fuel injectors. Each injector is
controlled individually by the ECM. Injector timing
and fuel quantity are controlled by the ECM based
on inputs from various sensors. The precision con-
trol of the injectors by the ECM helps to reduce the
engine noise, odor and smoke.
3.2 FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.2.1 ECM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The ECM is programmed to monitor different
circuits of the diesel fuel injection system. This
monitoring is called on-board diagnostics.
Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic
trouble code to be entered into the ECM memory.
The criteria may be a range of: engine rpm, engine
temperature, time or other input signals to the
ECM. If all of the criteria for monitoring a system or
circuit are met, and a problem is sensed, then a
DTC will be stored in the ECM memory.
It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit
may not be entered into the ECM memory, even
though a malfunction has occurred. This may hap-
pen when the monitoring criteria have not been
met.
The ECM compares input signal voltages from
each input device with specifications (the estab-
lished high and low limits of the input range) that
are programmed into it for that device. If the input
voltage is not within the specifications and other
trouble code criteria are met, a DTC will be stored
in the ECM memory.
