Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step determines if the condition exists. If DTC P2105 sets, the engine will stall and not restart until the ignition is cycled OFF and then ON. Additional DTCs set when P2105 sets. The ignition key will not be able to be removed from the ignition switch until another ignition cycle occurs.

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Rapidly, move the accelerator pedal from the rest position to wide open throttle position. It may take a few attempts for the DTC to set.
