Test Procedure

  1. DI1 CHECK FOR DTCS 

    Are DTCs P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P02EE, P02EF, P02F0, P02F1, P02F2 or P02F3 present? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DI2. For no start, runs rough at idle or misses, GO to  DI2.
    For all others, RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS for further direction.
  2. DI2 CHECK THE FUEL INJECTOR PID 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the INJ_F (MODE) PID.

    Does the INJ_F PID indicate a concern? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DI4. GO to  DI3.
  3. DI3 CARRY OUT THE POWER BALANCE TEST 
    NOTE: The IDS test referenced in this step may not be available on all vehicles. Proceed to the next step if the IDS test is not available.
    • Verify the low pressure fuel system is operating correctly. GO to PINPOINT TESTS HC and follow the pinpoint test direction.
    • Carry out the Power Balance Test. Refer to the instruction manual provided by the scan tool manufacturer.

    Are the results satisfactory? 

    Yes No
    The system is operating correctly at this time.
    RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS for further direction.    		 GO to  DI4.
  4. DI4 CHECK THE INJ AND INJRTN CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • INJ connector disconnected.
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
    (+) PCM Connector, Harness Side (-) INJ Connector, Harness Side
    Suspect INJ INJ
    Suspect INJRTN INJRTN

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DI5. REPAIR the open circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. DI5 CHECK THE INJ AND INJRTN CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between:
    (+) INJ Connector, Harness Side (-)
    INJ Ground
    INJRTN Ground

    Are the resistances greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DI6. REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. DI6 CHECK THE INJ AND INJRTN CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
    (+) INJ Connector, Harness Side (-)
    INJ Ground
    INJRTN Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to  DI7.
  7. DI7 CHECK FOR A SHORT BETWEEN THE INJ AND INJRTN CIRCUITS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between:
    (+) INJ Connector, Harness Side (-) INJ Connector, Harness Side
    INJ INJRTN

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DI8. REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  8. DI8 CHECK THE RESISTANCE OF THE FUEL INJECTOR 
    • Measure the resistance between:
    (+) INJ Connector, Component Side (-) INJ Connector, Component Side
    INJ INJRTN

    Is the resistance between 1 - 2 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  DI9. INSTALL a new Fuel Injector. REFER to the Service Information, Fuel Charging and Controls. RESET the keep alive memory (KAM). REFER to RESETTING THE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) .
    REPEAT the self-test.
  9. DI9 CARRY OUT A THOROUGH WIGGLE TEST ON THE FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • INJ connector connected.
    • PCM connector connected.
    • Ignition ON, engine running.
    • Engine at normal operating temperature.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the INJ_F (MODE) PID.
    • Wiggle, shake, and bend small sections of the wiring harness while working from the suspected fuel injector to the PCM.

    Does the INJ_F PID indicate a concern? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 For Power Balance Test results indicating a fuel injector concern, INSTALL a new fuel injector as necessary. REFER to the Service Information, Fuel Charging and Controls.
    RESET the keep alive memory (KAM). REFER to RESETTING THE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) . REPEAT the self-test.
    For all others, GO to  DI10.
  10. DI10 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.
    • 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) , Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM.    		 The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
    GO to PINPOINT TESTS Z .
