Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify that DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 is not set.
    • If none of the DTCs are set 
  3. Verify the scan tool Throttle Body Idle Air Flow Compensation parameter is less than 90 %.
    • If less than 90 % 
  4. Verify the scan tool Throttle Position Sensors 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter displays Agree while performing the Throttle Sweep Test with a scan tool.
    • If Agree 
  5. Determine the current vehicle testing altitude.
  6. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor pressure parameter is within the range specified in the Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure table.
    • If the MAP Sensor parameter is not in range 

      Refer to DTC P0106  for further diagnosis.

    • If the MAP Sensor parameter is in range 
  7. Engine idling.
  8. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is between 26 - 52 kPa (3.8 - 7.5 PSI) and changes with accelerator pedal input.
    • If the MAP Sensor parameter is not between 26 - 52 kPa (3.8 - 7.5 PSI) or does not change 

      Refer to DTC P0106  for further diagnosis.

    • If the MAP Sensor parameter is between 26 - 52 kPa (3.8 - 7.5 PSI) and changes 
  9. Verify the scan tool MAF Sensor g/s parameter changes smoothly and gradually as the engine speed is increased and decreased while performing the actions listed below.
    1. Engine idling
    2. Increase the engine speed slowly to 3, 000 RPM and then back to idle.
    3. Exit from the scan tool data list and review the stored data within the Stored Data function of the scan tool.
    4. Observe the MAF Sensor parameter frame by frame.
    • The MAF Sensor parameter does not change smoothly and gradually 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing for further diagnosis.

    • The MAF Sensor parameter changes smoothly and gradually 
  10. 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/Failure Records data.
  11. Verify the DTC does not set.
    • If the DTC sets 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing, for further diagnosis.

    • If the DTC does not set 
  12. All OK.
