Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the FTP sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to round or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  4. Verify the scan tool FTP sensor parameter is less than 0.1 volt.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  5. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool FTP sensor parameter is greater than 4.7 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the FTP sensor.
