Diagnostic Test
- CHECK THE PCM FOR VALUE CHANGES OF THE ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR SIGNAL RELATED TO WIRING OR CONNECTORS
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, monitor the EOT Sensor voltage reading.
- Wiggle the wiring harness, EOT Sensor connector and any in-line connectors while monitoring the sensor voltage.
Did the voltage change to 5.0 volts indicating an open circuit at any time while wiggle testing the harness and connectors?
Yes
- Perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure to diagnose the intermittent wiring issue. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
No
- Go To 2
- INSPECT THE EOT SENSOR WIRING AND CONNECTOR FOR DAMAGE OR POOR FIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Verify that the harness connector was properly connected to the EOT Sensor.
- Disconnect the EOT Sensor harness connector.
- Inspect the wiring and terminals for any condition that would result in a poor connection.
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, spread, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3
- REPLACE THE EOT SENSOR AND RETEST FOR DTCS
- Replace the EOT Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Reconnect the EOT Sensor and PCM harness connectors.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the Freeze Frame Data or When Monitored Conditions above, operate the vehicle within the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Replacing the EOT Sensor repaired the fault.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
