Diagnostic Procedure (2.4L)
- Check for exhaust leaks. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If there are no exhaust leaks, go to next step.
- Check intake system for vacuum leaks. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If there are no intake system leaks, go to next step.
- Check front HO2S. See SENSORS under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. Replace as necessary, then go to step 11 . If front HO2S is okay, go to next step.
- Check front HO2S connector. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Disconnect all fuel injector 2-pin connectors. Check resistance between fuel injector terminals. Resistance should be 13-16 ohms at 68°F (20°C). Replace any fuel injector not within specifications, then go to step 11 . If each resistance is within specifications, go to next step.
- Check fuel injector connectors. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If connectors are okay, go to next step.
- Check ECM connectors C-49 and C-60, or PCM connectors C-50, C-54 and C-57. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If connectors are okay, go to next step.
- Check wiring between front HO2S and ECM connector C-60, or PCM connectors C-54 and C-57. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If wiring is okay, go to next step.
- Check wiring between fuel injectors and ECM connector C-49, or PCM connector C-50. Repair as necessary, then go to step 11 . If wiring is okay, go to next step.
- Perform fuel pressure test. See FUEL SYSTEM in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. Repair as necessary, then go to next step. If fuel pressure is okay, replace ECM/PCM, then go to next step.
- Remove all test equipment and install all disconnected/removed components. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Test drive vehicle following other monitor drive cycle pattern. See OBD-II DRIVE CYCLES under VERIFYING REPAIRS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article. Check for DTCs. Confirm DTC does not reset. See VERIFYING REPAIRS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article.
