Trang 6Vehicle Check And Preparation
Before using the scan tool to carry out any test, refer to the important Safety Notice located at thebeginning of this manual and the necessary visual checks listed below
Visual Checks
• Inspect the air cleaner and inlet duct
• Check all engine vacuum hoses for damage, leaks, cracks, kinks, and proper routing
• Check the electronic engine control (EEC) system wiring harness for proper connections, bent orbroken pins, corrosion, loose wires, and proper routing
• Check the powertrain control module (PCM), sensors, and actuators for physical damage
• Check the engine coolant for proper level and mixture
• Check the transmission fluid level and quality
• Make all necessary repairs before continuing with the quick test Refer to Quick Test in this
section for additional information
Vehicle Preparation
• Carry out all safety steps required to start and run vehicle tests Apply the parking brake, placethe gear selector lever firmly into the PARK position on automatic transmission vehicles or
NEUTRAL on manual transmission vehicles, and block the drive wheels
• Turn off all electrical loads such as radios, lamps, A/C, blower, and fans
• Start the engine (if the engine runs) and bring it up to the normal operating temperature beforerunning the quick test
2011Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis, 8/2010
Trang 7Quick Test Description
Quick Test
The quick test is divided into 3 specialized tests:
(1) Key On Engine Off (KOEO) On Demand Self-Test
(2) Key On Engine Running (KOER) On Demand Self-Test
(3) Continuous Memory Self-Test
The quick test checks the integrity and function of the electronic engine control (EEC) system andoutputs the test results when requested by the scan tool The quick test also provides a quick
check of the powertrain control system, and is usually carried out at the start of each diagnosticprocedure with all accessories off The quick test is also carried out at the end of most pinpointtests for verification of the repair and to make sure no other concerns are incurred while repairing
a previous concern A system pass is displayed when no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are
output and a scan tool communication error does not exist System pass means that hardware
monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) is functioning within the normal operating limits.Only a system pass, a DTC, or an incomplete on board diagnostic (OBD) drive cycle is displayed.For applications that use a stand-alone transmission control module (TCM) the PCM does not
output TCM DTCs For TCM self-test and diagnostics, refer to the Workshop Manual Section
307-01 Automatic Transmission
Key On Engine Off (KOEO) On Demand Self-Test
The KOEO on demand self-test is a functional test of the PCM carried out on demand with the key
on and the engine off This test carries out checks on certain sensor and actuator circuits A
concern must be present at the time of testing for the KOEO self-test to detect the concern When
a concern is detected, a DTC is output on the data link at the end of the test as requested by thescan tool
Key On Engine Running (KOER) On Demand Self-Test
The KOER on demand self-test is a functional test of the PCM carried out on demand with the key
on, the engine running and the vehicle stopped A check of certain inputs and outputs is made
during operating conditions and at a normal operating temperature The brake pedal position,
transmission control, and the power steering tests are part of the KOER on demand self-test andmust be carried out during this operation if applicable These are described below A concern must
be present at the time of testing for the KOER on demand self-test to detect the concern When aconcern is detected, a DTC is output on the data link at the end of the test as requested by thescan tool
Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Test
The BPP test checks the ability of the EEC system to detect a change of state in the BPP switch.The brake pedal is briefly applied and released on all vehicles equipped with a BPP input This isdone during a KOER on demand self-test
Trang 8Quick Test Description
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Test
The PSP test checks the ability of the EEC system to detect a change in the power steering
system fluid pressure The steering wheel is briefly turned at least 1/4 of a revolution on vehiclesequipped with a PSP switch or sensor This is done during a KOER on demand self-test
Transmission Control Switch (TCS) Test
The TCS test checks the ability of the EEC system to detect a change of state in the TCS Theswitch is briefly cycled on all vehicles equipped with a TCS input This is done during a KOER ondemand self-test
Continuous Memory Self-Test
The continuous memory self-test is a functional test of the PCM carried out under any condition(engine running or off) with the key on Unlike the KOEO and KOER self-tests, which can only beactivated on demand, the continuous self-test is always active A concern does not need to be
present when accessing continuous memory self-test DTCs, making the test valuable when
diagnosing intermittent concerns The vehicle may need to be driven or the OBD drive cycle
completed to allow the PCM to detect a concern Refer to On Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle
in this section for more information When a concern is stored in memory, a DTC is output on thedata link when requested by the scan tool
There are two types of continuous DTCs The first type is an emission-related code which
illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster The second is a
non-emission related, non-MIL DTC which does not illuminate the instrument cluster indicator
For emission-related MIL DTCs, the PCM stores the DTC in continuous memory when a concern
is detected for the first time At this point the DTC does not illuminate the MIL and is considered apending code The purpose of pending codes is to assist in repair verification by reporting a
pending DTC after one drive cycle If the same concern is detected after the next drive cycle, theemission-related MIL code illuminates the MIL and sets both a confirmed MIL DTC and a
permanent DTC The MIL remains illuminated even if the concern is intermittent A permanent
DTC is stored until three consecutive passing drive cycles have been completed after a repair andthe MIL turns off, or after a request to clear DTCs has been made using the scan tool and the
next monitoring cycle has completed and passed for that DTC
Confirmed emission-related MIL DTCs and any non-emission related, non-MIL DTCs are erasedapproximately 40 vehicle warm-up cycles after the concern was last detected, or if the DTCs arecleared by the scan tool
Pending emission-related MIL DTCs that never detect a concern on a second consecutive drivecycle (and never light the MIL) are not retained in memory for any number of vehicle warm-up
cycles; they are immediately cleared when the next monitoring cycle has completed and passedfor that DTC, or until a request to clear DTCs has been made by the scan tool
Any scan tool that meets OBD requirements can access the continuous memory to retrieve
emission-related MIL DTCs However, not all scan tools access pending and non-emission related,non-MIL DTCs in the same way
2011Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis, 8/2010
Trang 9Quick Test Description
During most diagnostic procedures in this manual, it is required that all DTCs be retrieved and
cleared Permanent DTCs cannot be directly cleared by the scan tool When a scan tool clearsDTCs, pending and confirmed DTCs are immediately cleared Permanent DTCs will not clear untilthe next monitoring cycle has completed and passed for that DTC For additional information, refer
to Section 1, Powertrain Control Software, Permanent Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Trang 10Clear the Continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and Reset the Emission Monitors Information in the Powertrain
Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle in this section
The following events occur when the continuous DTCs and the emission monitors information iscleared from the PCM:
• the number of DTCs is reset
• the DTCs are cleared (on vehicles with permanent DTCs, additional vehicle operation is required
to complete and pass the appropriate monitors to complete the clearing of permanent DTCs)
• the freeze frame data is cleared
• the diagnostic monitoring test results are reset
• the status of the OBD system monitors is reset
2011Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis, 8/2010
Trang 11Resetting The Keep Alive Memory (KAM)
Description
Resetting the KAM returns the powertrain control module (PCM) memory to its default setting
Adaptive learning contents such as adaptive airflow, idle speed, refueling event, and fuel trim areincluded Clear the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the PCM and reset the emissionmonitors information, is part of a KAM reset Refer to Clear the Continuous Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) and Reset the Emission Monitors Information in the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) in this section Both can be useful in post-repair testing
After the KAM has been reset, the vehicle may exhibit certain driveability concerns It is necessary
to allow the engine to idle at normal operating temperature with the A/C off for 2 minutes Thendrive the vehicle to allow the PCM to learn the values for optimum driveability and performance.This function may not be supported by all scan tools Refer to the scan tool manufacturer’s
instruction manual
If an error message is received or the scan tool does not support this function, disconnecting thebattery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes may be used as an alternative procedure on
some vehicles
Trang 12On Board System Readiness (OSR) Test
Description
All on board diagnostic (OBD) scan tools display the on board system readiness (OSR) test TheOSR displays the supported monitors on the vehicle and the status of all monitors (complete or notcomplete) at that time Fuel, misfire, and comprehensive component monitors (CCMs) run
continuously and always display a YES status Clearing the continuous diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs) and resetting the emission monitors information in the powertrain control module (PCM), orresetting the keep alive memory (KAM) causes the non-continuous monitors to change to a NOstatus
A detailed description of completing the OBD monitors is found in this section Refer to On BoardDiagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle
2011Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis, 8/2010
Trang 13Output State Control (OSC)
Description
WARNING: Safety must be observed when using OSC Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
The OSC aids in diagnosing output actuators associated with the powertrain control module (PCM)for the engine This mode allows the technician to command the individual actuator state For
example, the output can be enabled or disabled, the duty cycle or the angle of the output can beincreased or decreased OSC is used to help test the electrical, hydraulic or mechanical
components of the vehicle This function is supported by the vehicle strategy but may not be
present on all vehicles or available on all scan tools
Retrieve the continuous codes and carry out a key on, engine off (KOEO) and key on, engine
running (KOER) on demand self-test before using any OSC Any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)related to the transmission range (TR) sensor, output shaft speed (OSS) sensor or the vehicle
speed sensor (VSS) must be fixed or the PCM does not allow the OSC to operate
Each OSC function has a unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician is
required to meet before operating the OSC If the vehicle requirements are not met while
commanding the OSC value, an error message appears When the error message is received,
OSC is canceled
To confirm the scan tool sent the OSC value and the PCM has accepted the OSC substitution, acorresponding parameter identification (PID) for each OSC parameter must be monitored
One Touch Integrated Start System
Some vehicles are equipped with one touch integrated start system It may be necessary to
disable the one touch integrated start system to carry out diagnostic procedures that require
extended cranking Connect the scan tool, access the PCM and select the one touch integratedstart system control PID to disable the system
Trang 14Output Test Mode (OTM)
Description
WARNING: Safety must be observed when using OTM.
— When all outputs are on, the electric fuel pump is briefly energized Make sure the fuel system is intact and is not being repaired at this time.
— When low speed or high speed fan control(s) are turned on, make sure the fan blades are clear of any obstruction.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
The OTM aids in diagnosing output actuators associated with the powertrain control module
(PCM) This mode allows the technician to energize and de-energize most of the system outputactuators on command When entering OTM, the outputs can be turned off and on without
activating the fan control The low and high speed fan controls may be turned on separately
without energizing the other outputs This function is supported by each vehicle strategy and maynot be available on all scan tools
As a safety precaution, OTM defaults to the off state after 10 minutes, and the fuel pump off stateafter approximately 7-10 seconds OTM also turns off after the vehicle is started or after cyclingthe key OFF then ON
