Circuit/System Verification

  1. Verify the integrity of the air induction system by inspecting for the following conditions:
    • A restricted or collapsed air intake duct
    • A misaligned or damaged air intake duct
    • A dirty or deteriorating air filter element
    • Any objects blocking the air inlet probe of the MAF/IAT sensor
    • Any contamination or debris on the sensing elements in the probe of the MAF/IAT sensor
    • Any water intrusion in the induction system
    • Any vacuum leak downstream of the MAF/IAT sensor
    • An intake manifold leak
    • A MAP sensor seal that is missing or damaged
    • A BARO sensor that is skewed or stuck
    • A skewed or stuck ECT or IAT sensor-refer to Temperature Versus Resistance .
    • Any type of restriction in the exhaust system-Refer to Restricted Exhaust .
  2. Ignition ON, observe the MAP Sensor parameter with a scan tool. Start the engine. The MAP Sensor parameter should decrease.
    • If the MAP Sensor kPa parameter does not decrease, refer to DTC P0106 .
  3. Ignition ON, depress the accelerator pedal completely and observe the TP Indicated Angle parameter with a scan tool. The TP Indicated Angle parameter should read 98-100 percent.
  4. Ignition ON, perform a snapshot of the throttle actuator control (TAC) data while performing the following action. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure .
    • Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT position, then slowly release the pedal. Exit from the snapshot and review the data.
    • Compare the TP Sensor 1 and the TP Sensor 2 parameters, frame by frame. The difference between the parameters should be less than 4 percent.
  5. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0101 or P1101 should not set.
  6. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame Records data.
