Circuit/System Testing

    IMPORTANT:
    • The TAC system DTCs must be cleared before testing for voltage. The PCM will not provide voltage to the TAC motor circuits when a TAC or TP sensor DTC is set.
    • The engine cannot be running when testing for voltage. If the engine is started, a TAC system DTC will set and the PCM will not provide voltage to the TAC motor circuits.
    • Do not disconnect the TAC module harness connector unless instructed to do so. A TP sensor DTC will set when the ignition is turned ON.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the TAC module.
  2. IMPORTANT: With the TAC module disconnected, a TP sensor DTC will set and the PCM will not provide voltage to the TAC motor circuits.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 0 volts between the TAC motor control circuit terminal terminals and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the TAC motor control circuit for a short voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the following TP sensor circuits together with four fused jumper wires.
    • TP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal 6
    • TP sensor 2 signal circuit terminal 4
    • TP sensor 5-volt reference circuit terminal 5
    • TP sensor ground circuit terminal 3
  5. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the TAC motor control circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • TAC motor control low circuit terminal 1
    • TAC motor control high circuit terminal 2
    • If less than the specified range, test the TAC motor control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the throttle body assembly.
