Test Procedure

  1. AT1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P2552 
    • Retrieve and record all engine and transmission continuous DTCs.
    • Record the freeze frame data.
    • If DTCs P2614 or P2617 are present, follow the DTC diagnosis for P2552.

    Is DTC P2552 present? 

    Yes No
    For DTCs P1378 or P1379, GO to Pinpoint Test S .
    For DTC P2552, GO to  AT2.
    For DTC P0148, GO to  AT5.    		 CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. For all other DTCs, REFER to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) DESCRIPTIONS .
  2. AT2 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P2552 
    NOTE: Refer to the PCM and component connector pin numbers at the beginning of this pinpoint test.
    • Possible causes:
      • FICMM line open
      • FICMM line shorted to ground
    • Key in OFF position.
    • FICM-C connector disconnected.
    • Key ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      ( + ) FICM-C Connector, Harness Side ( - )
      FICMM - Pin 9 Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 10.5 V? 

    Yes No
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC P2553 is present again, INSTALL a new FICM. GO to  AT3.
  3. AT3 CHECK THE FICMM CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) PCM Connector, Harness Side ( - )
      FICMM - Pin E28 Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  AT4. REPAIR the circuit.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  4. AT4 CHECK THE FICMM CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) PCM Connector, Harness Side ( - ) FICM-C Connector, Harness Side
      FICMM - Pin E28 FICMM - Pin 9

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC P2552 is present again, GO to  AT6. REPAIR the circuit.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. AT5 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0148 
    • Possible causes:
      • fuel quality
      • crankshaft position (CKP) or camshaft position (CMP) signal noise
    • Retrieve and record all engine and transmission DTCs.

    Is DTC P0148 present? 

    Yes No
    REFER to PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES . CARRY OUT the OBD drive cycle. REFER to ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) DRIVE CYCLE . REFLASH the PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) . If DTC P0148 is present again, GO to  AT6. REFER to SYMPTOM CHARTS , if a driveability concern exists.
  6. AT6 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
    • Visually inspect for:
      • pushed out pins
      • corrosion
    • Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Carry out the PCM self-test and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) . The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
