Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal 56-X2 of the ECM.
  2. Disconnect the X-406 harness connector at the rear of the fuel tank.
    3. NOTE: Testing for steps 3-7 is performed on the ECM side of the X-406 harness connector.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal G and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Install the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal 56-X2 of the ECM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal E and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Verify the scan tool FTP Sensor parameter is less than 4.8 V.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal F for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
  7. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal F and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal E. Verify the scan tool FTP Sensor parameter is greater than 4.8 V.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
  8. Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Replacement (AWD) or Fuel Tank Replacement (FWD) .
  9. Disconnect the FTP sensor connector.
  10. Inspect the FTP sensor circuits in the fuel tank harness, between the FTP sensor connector and X-406 for the following conditions, and repair as necessary:
    • Damaged wiring or terminals
    • Open circuits
    • Short to ground
    • Wire to wire short
  11. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the FTP sensor.
