Diagnostic Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Cadillac Seville, 1998 Cadillac Eldorado, and 1998 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Perform POWERTRAIN ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK , then go to next step.
  2. Check for possible cause of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), such as spark plug wires routed too close to IC module, high power transmitters operating within vicinity or the use of a battery charger. If possible source of EMI is found, remove source. If EMI interference is not noticed, go to next step.
  3. Clear DTC(s) and retest. If DTC P0371 resets, go to next step. If DTC P0371 does not reset, fault is not present.
  4. Check terminal contact of 24X spark reference circuit at IC module and PCM harness connector. Repair as necessary. If terminal contact is okay, go to next step.
  5. Replace IC module.
