Concours
INTRODUCTION
If no trouble codes were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics, proceed to H - TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.). SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
NOTE:
Electronic Control Module (ECM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) are the same system. Terms are often used interchangeably.
Self-diagnostic system consists of 6 components. These components are Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) options, A/C Programmer (ACP) options, Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system, Traction Control system (TCS) and Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) system options. In addition to monitoring a particular set of sensors and switches, PCM maintains continuous communication with each system component. Should a component exceed pre-programmed limits, PCM will recognize a malfunction and may act to control malfunctioning component. To control a particular component, PCM rapidly switches an internal circuit between zero and 5 volts, converting programmed control information into series of pulses that represents coded serial data messages. These messages are transmitted to malfunctioning component, which interprets information and responds accordingly. As a result, an alphanumeric code, known as a trouble code, is often set in PCM memory. This trouble code identifies malfunctioning component and can be accessed by a service technician as an aid to diagnostic procedures. All trouble codes are displayed on Driver Information Center (DIC) panel. In addition to monitoring self-diagnostic system and displaying trouble codes, PCM can be programmed by service technician to perform specific diagnostic tests on individual components and systems. Results of these tests are displayed on DIC. This article covers accessing PCM trouble codes and programming self-diagnostic system to perform specific diagnostic tests on system components.
ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
1) Turn ignition on. Simultaneously push OFF and WARMER buttons on Climate Control Center (CCC). Continue pushing OFF and WARMER buttons until segment check appears (about 3 seconds) on Instrument Panel Control (IPC). NOTE:
Failure of any segment to glow may result in inaccurate test results. Replace any inoperative segment display before proceeding with self-diagnostic process.
2) When segment check appears (all segments glow), system has entered self-diagnostic mode. Release both buttons. Driver Information Center (DIC) will display diagnostic codes. Diagnostic code level displays PCM codes first, followed by IPC, ACP, SIR, TCS and RSS codes (if so prompted). 3) To proceed to desired level, press and release CCC HI (fan up) button for "yes" or LO (fan down) button for "no". Depress LO button to go to next test level (i.e., IPC?, ACP?, SIR?, TCS? or RSS?) or depress OFF button to return to next selection in previous test level. 4) To exit diagnostics, press AUTO or DEFOG button on IPC. System will go back to normal vehicle operation. DISPLAYING TROUBLE CODES
1) Trouble codes appear in ascending (3-digit) numerical order and are prefixed by "P" (PCM), "I" (IPC), "A" (ACP), "R" (SIR), "T" (TCS) or "S" (RSS). A final digit of either a "C" (current) or "H" (history)" will also be indicated on every code. Diagnostic code level displays PCM codes first, followed by IPC, ACP, SIR, TCS or RSS codes (if so prompted). 2) For complete list of available PCM trouble codes, see PCM TROUBLE CODES table. If no codes are present for a system, a "NO X CODE" message (with X being system, i.e. "P", "I", etc.) will be displayed. If communication line to a component is not operating, a "NO X DATA" message will be displayed, indicating that IPC could not communicate with that system. 3) To continue with system diagnostics, see SERVICE MODE OPERATION. To exit from SERVICE MODE and go back to normal vehicle operation, depress AUTO or DEFOG button on CCC. PCM TROUBLE CODES TABLE ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

G - TESTS W/CODES - 4.6LArticle Text (p. 5)
Following trouble code display, first available system will be displayed (i.e., PCM?). When selecting a system to test, any of following actions may be taken to control display: 1) Depressing HI (fan up) button on CCC will select displayed system for testing (i.e., PCM DATA, PCM INPUTS, PCM OUTPUTS, etc.). See Fig. 2. 2) Depressing LO (fan down) button on CCC will display next available system selection (i.e., IPC?, ACP? or SIR?). This allows display to be cycled through all system choices. This list of systems can be repeated following end of system list. 3) Depressing OFF button on CCC will stop system selection process and return display to beginning of PCM trouble code sequence. Selecting Test Type Level Selection of "DATA?", "INPUTS?", "OUTPUTS?", "OVERRIDES?", "CLEAR CODES?" or "SNAPSHOT?" test type may be displayed. See Fig. 2. If dashes appear in DIC, test is not valid or test conditions are wrong. While selecting a specific test, any of following actions may be taken to control display: 1) Depressing HI (fan up) button on CCC will display a specific output or test parameter for selected test type level (i.e., PCM data parameter PD01,etc.). See Fig. 2. 2) Depressing LO (fan down) button on CCC will display next test type level for system level (i.e., PCM INPUTS?, PCM OUTPUTS?, etc.). See Fig. 2. This allows display to be cycled through all available test type choices. This list of test types can be repeated following display of last test type. 3) Depressing OFF button on CCC will stop test selection process and return display to next system level (i.e., IPC?). Selecting Clear Codes Selecting "CLEAR CODES?" test will result in "CODES CLEAR" message being displayed with selected system name for 3 seconds, indicating all stored trouble codes have been erased from memory. After 3 seconds, display will automatically return to next available test type level (i.e., PCM SNAPSHOT?). After a code has been cleared, make a complete ignition cycle and possibly a test drive. Ensure code does not reset.

PD78: Transaxle Shift Adapt Display shows readings of -128 to +127 psi. This value is the increase or decrease in transaxle line pressure that PCM is commanding through the transaxle pressure control solenoid during the most recentG - TESTS W/CO
upshift or downshift. PCM increases or decreases line pressure during shifts to control shift feel. Normal value fluctuates within a range of 20 psi. A value less than zero psi means PCM was lowering transaxle line pressure during most recent shift to soften the shift. A value greater than zero psi means PCM was raising transaxle line pressure during most recent shift to firm up the shift. PD79: Transaxle Steady State Adapt Display shows pressure from zero to +127 psi. This value is the increase in transaxle line pressure that PCM is commanding through the transaxle pressure control solenoid during steady state, not upshifting or downshifting condition. PCM increases line pressure to control clutch slippage. Normal value is 0-10 psi. A value greater than zero psi means that PCM has detected some clutch slippage (not during transaxle shifts) and is raising transaxle line pressure to decrease transaxle clutch slippage. PD80: Transaxle Garage Shift Adapt Displayed in seconds from-3000 to +3000. PCM increases or decreases line pressure during garage shifts (shifts from Park or Neutral to Drive or Reverse) to control shift feel. This value is the increase of decrease in garage shift duration/length that PCM is trying to achieve by adjusting transaxle line pressure up or down. A normal value is between -1.0 and +1.0 second. PD81: TCC Solenoid Duty Cycle Display shows the current duty cycle (on time as a percent of cycle time) of the PCM's TCC solenoid output from zero to 99.6 percent. PD82: Transaxle Shift Time Display shows amount of time elapsed between when transaxle left the previous gear ratio and arrived at the current gear ratio. Shift time is measured from zero to 6.375 seconds. PD83: Non-Drive Wheel Speed Display shows speed of rear wheels as sent across the UART data link (circuit No. 800) from EBTCM.

SFI CHART C-2, FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
This test determines if fuel system is providing fuel pressure. Components involved include fuel tank, sender, pump, pipes and hoses, pressure regulator, fuel rail, and injectors. Electrical operation of fuel pump relay is also checked. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) If fuel pump does not operate with ignition on, diagnose as if a Code P020 is set to determine cause. If fuel pump operates with ignition on, check for clogged fuel filter or fuel line. 2) If fuel pressure is normal, check for proper injector operation. 3) If fuel pressure is too high, pressure regulator is not working properly, or cannot work due to a restriction in fuel return line to fuel tank. 4) Fuel pressure leak-down can be caused by faulty pressure regulator, a fuel pump check ball, or a leaking injector. Low fuel pressure that does not leak down can be caused by a faulty pressure regulator or a low output fuel pump. 5) If fuel pressure holds with fuse A5 removed (in engine compartment fuse block), injectors No. 2, 3, 5 or 8 must have been energized causing fuel pressure drop. 6) Checks if a short to ground on the low side of injector or PCM was keeping injectors energized. 7) If fuel pressure holds with fuse A7 removed (in engine compartment fuse block), injectors No. 1, 4, 6 and 7 must have been energized causing fuel pressure drop. 8) Checks if short to ground on low side of injectors or PCM was keeping injector energized. 9) Checks for physical cause of pressure drop, such as leaking injectors, leaking fuel rail or pressure regulator. If no leaks are found, fuel pump check ball is not operating properly. Replace fuel pump.

Fig. 10: SFI Chart C-2 Diagnostic Flow Chart - 2 Of 2, Fuel Pressure Check Courtesy of General Motors Corp. SFI CHART C-3, INJECTOR FLOW & VOLTAGE DROP CHECK
This procedure compares fuel pressure drop when each injector is pulsed for a set amount of time. Since each injector is pulsed the same, fuel pressure drop for each injector should be about the same. Faulty injector can be identified by either too high or too low fuel pressure drop. This procedure also determines if injector voltage drop is within specification. Injector voltage dropping out of specification can cause driveability conditions that are intermittent or that do not show up during injector flow check. This test requires the use of Fuel Pressure GaugeText (J (p. 34730G - TESTS W/CODES - 4.6LArticle 29)1995 Cadillac Concours
1), DVOM and Fuel Injector Tester (J 39021). NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) Install Fuel Injector Tester (J 39021). Select PS05 for 5 seconds to energize fuel pump and build up fuel pressure. Select individual injector with PS10 to check fuel pressure drop associated with each injector. No fuel pressure drop indicates that injector did not operate. This could be caused by a faulty injector or circuit problem. A substantial injector fuel pressure drop indicates a faulty injector. 2) Checks if fuse is open causing either injectors No. 2, 3, 5 and 8 or injectors No. 1, 4, 6 and 7 not to operate. 3) Checks if circuits No. 239 or 439 is open from fuse and harness connector. 4) Fuel pressure must be released before testing to avoid flooding. 5) Subtract .55 volts from highest recorded value (less than 9.5 volts) to establish the lowest acceptable value. Any injector below the established value must be replaced. 6) Any injector with greater than 2 psi difference from the other injectors is faulty and must be replaced. Inspect for deposits and restrictions and investigate source of contamination. 7) Checks for open or shorted fuel injector or injector circuit. 8) Checks if PCM cannot control injector or if PCM is not receiving injector voltage due to an open between injector and PCM connector. 9) Release fuel pressure before testing to avoid flooding. 10) Checks for open or shorted fuel injector harness. Resistance should be 8-25 ohms. 11) Checks if PCM cannot control injector or if PCM is not receiving injector voltage due to an open between injector and PCM connector.

This test verifies ISC motor operation and checks ISC plunger adjustment. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) This checks for a high minimum air idle which could cause a sail-on condition. High minimum air idle is okay if engine cannot stay running at minimum air idle. 2) Perform Code P030 diagnosis to identify cause of faulty ISC motor. 3) This determines ISC authority. This is determined by comparing minimum TP sensor value to the maximum ISC extend value. ISC authority should be adjusted to 10-11 degrees of throttle angle. 4) TP sensor idle learn procedure must be performed after ISC plunger adjustment.

POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK is an organized approach to identifying a computer-controlled electronics problem. Understanding chart and using it correctly will reduce diagnostic time and prevent unnecessary parts replacement. Use POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK to begin diagnosis if any
customer complaint does not directly relate to a specific subsystem. If Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) fails to illuminate during cranking, problem could be in PCM power supply circuit. POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK will direct technician to an appropriate diagnostic chart, test procedure in appropriate article. If DIC panel display is not operating properly, PCM selfdiagnostics mode cannot be used and POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK will direct technician to an appropriate diagnostic chart, test procedure in appropriate article. If a trouble code is identified by PCM computer system selfdiagnostics mode, problem can be corrected following appropriate numbered code charts. If no trouble code has been identified, POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK will direct technician to an appropriate diagnostic chart, test procedure in appropriate article. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) Checks if system will enter diagnostics. If diagnostics cannot be entered or displays are blank, problem exists in IPC or related circuit. Diagnose system as follows: *
*
*
*
*
Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM connected to ground, backprobe IPC connector cavities A1, A2, C12 and C14. Reading should be greater than 10 volts. If voltage reading on one or more terminal is not as specified, repair open or short in related circuit. If voltage reading is not as specified on all terminals, check charging system. If all of voltage readings are correct, turn ignition off. Disconnect IPC connectors (Black and White). Measure resistance between ground and IPC connector cavities A5 and C16. If any measurement is greater than one ohm, repair affected circuit or check/repair ground. If both circuits are less than, reconnect IPC connectors. Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM connected to ground, backprobe IPC connector cavity B2. If reading is 14 volts or greater, check IPC connectors for good terminal contact. If contacts are okay and diagnostics still cannot be entered, replace IPC. If reading is less than 14 volts, disconnect radio head and measure voltage at IPC connector terminal B2. If reading is 14 volts or greater, replace radio head. If reading is less than 14 volts, disconnect IPC connector. Check continuity between IPC connector terminal B2 and ground. If continuity is present, repair short in circuit. If continuity is not present, replace IPC assembly.
2) Checks to see if IPC is able to communicate with PCM. If G -PCM TESTS W/CODES - 4.6L IPC is unable to communicate with PCM, Code I034 will set or NO
DATA message will be displayed when diagnostics are used. 3) MIL should be on when vehicle is in diagnostic mode. 4) Checks if powertrain system is operational. 5) Checks if PCM codes are present. 6) MIL should be off if codes are not present. 7) Checks if known customer complaint is causing problem. 8) If complaint is not in customer complaint list, perform system check applying to situation.

POWERTRAIN CHART 7, REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DIAGNOSIS
PCM provides .45-volt reference signal to oxygen sensor on circuit No. 1670. When warm, a properly operating oxygen sensor will drive .45-volt reference signal lower, indicating a lean mixture or higher, indicating a rich mixture. This signal will toggle from rich to lean rapidly, at least one toggle every 2 seconds, if PCM is in good control of air/fuel mixture. This chart is designed to be used after oxygen sensor circuit and PCM operation have been verified through POWERTRAIN CHART 1, POWERTRAIN SYSTEM CHECK and PCM diagnostic trouble code diagnosis. This chart should identify oxygen sensors that are open (not able to drive .45-volt reference signal) or shorted (sensor output is fixed high or low, due to contaminants or internal sensor faults). NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) With engine running and coolant at normal operating temperature (85øC or greater) and at fast idle, observe engine data parameter PD33. Voltage should swing from less than .3 volt to greater than .6 volt. 2) With engine at fast idle, observe open/closed loop status light (AUTO indicator on CCC). If PCM switches system into closed loop operation, oxygen sensor is okay. If PCM remains in open loop operation and coolant temperature PD04 is greater than 185øF (85øC), replace oxygen sensor. 3) If voltage remains .3-.6 volt for a minimum of one minute, replace oxygen sensor and check cause of sensor contamination. 4) If there is no high voltage variation, check for intermittent sensor terminal contact or faulty sensor.

PCM checks for cam pulses being received without 4X reference pulses. If PCM senses no reference pulses, engine will not start because fuel delivery system is triggered by pulses and Code P012 is set. Engine will start and run after an extended crank with Code P012 set. This is because the 24X reference pulses are being received by PCM. PCM uses this signal for fuel control instead.

Failure Conditions If PCM does not receive 4X reference pulses for 4 seconds while receiving cam reference pulses, Code P012 will set. Action PCM turns on Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) Checks to see if Code P035 is present because a REF LO problem can cause other ignition problems. 2) If Code P012 is current, the condition still exists and can be diagnosed directly. If Code P012 is history, look at snapshot data to determine conditions under which code was set. 3) Check for proper output of electronic ignition system. If voltmeter reads 4.1 volts or greater, ignition control module is able to produce 4X reference pulses. 4) Checks to see if Code P012 was set while vehicle was running or not, if MAP value is 80 kPa or less, or if engine was running when code was set. Stray cam pulses with ignition on, engine not running can also cause a false Code P012 to set. 5) Checks for 4X reference pulses on circuit No. 430 from ignition control module to PCM. If PCM terminal No. 3E2 has been between 30-100 Hertz, PCM is receiving 4X receiving pulses. 6) Checks if a faulty PCM is pulling the 4X signal low. 7) Checks for short to voltage on circuit No. 430. 8) Checks if ICM is providing proper reference signal to PCM.

CODE P013, REAR HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR NOT READY
PCM provides .45-volt reference signal to oxygen sensor on circuit No. 1670. When oxygen sensor reaches operating temperature, it will generate a counter voltage that will vary based on amount of oxygen in exhaust. Rear oxygen sensor is located in manifold, before catalytic converter. A lean exhaust will generate a low voltage and cause .45-volt reference signal to decrease. A rich exhaust will generate a higher voltage and cause .45-volt reference signal to increase. Code P013 will set when oxygen sensor cannot respond under test conditions and generate a voltage greater or less than .45-volt reference. Code P013 will also set under following conditions: 1) Open in circuit No. 1670 or 1671. 2) Short to voltage on circuit No. 1670 or 1671. 3) Faulty oxygen sensor. Test Conditions Codes P014, P015, P021, P022, P026 and P027 are not set. Coolant temperature greater than or equal to 180øF (82øC). TP sensor value of 5-25 degrees. Throttle switch open. RPM 800 or greater. Failure Conditions Oxygen sensor voltage stays .307-.609 volt for more than 64 seconds (not toggling). Action PCM turns on MIL and closed loop is disabled. PCM enables canister purge solenoid if Code P017 is set. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart. See POWERTRAIN CHARTS for references to CHART 7.
1) Voltage on PCM data parameter PD33 should fluctuate from less than 0.3 volt to greater than 0.6 volt. If voltage remain greater than 0.6 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to voltage. If voltage remains less than 0.3 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to ground. 2) Measuring voltage using voltmeter will isolate sensor/wiring problem from a PCM problem. If voltage fluctuates at greater than 0.6 volt and less than 0.3 volt, fault is with PCM. If voltage remains less than 0.3 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to ground or circuit No. 1671 for short to voltage. If voltage remains greater than 0.6 volt, check circuit No. 1670 for short to voltage. If voltage remains 0.3-0.6 volt, check circuits No. 1670 and 1671 for an open.

Engine coolant temperature sensor is located on thermostat
housing. ECT signal is on circuit No. 410. Sensor ground is on circuit No. 808. As sensor temperature increases, resistance decreases. A high coolant temperature will result in low signal voltage on circuit No. 410. Code P014 sets because engine coolant temperature cannot be greater than 296øF (147øC) when intake air temperature is less than 212øF (100øC). Test Conditions Codes P037 and P038 are not set and intake air temperature sensor value is less than or equal to 212øF (100øC). Failure Conditions Coolant sensor value greater than or equal to 298øF (148øC) for 2 seconds. Action PCM turns on MIL and uses IAT sensor value instead of coolant sensor value for all calculations during first 10 minutes of operation; it then uses a value of 194øF (90øC). Transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current levels. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) With ECT sensor or wiring shorted, PCM parameter PD04 should indicate 148øC or greater. If PD04 does not indicate 148øC or greater, sensor or wiring is not shorted. 2) Checks for shorted sensor or circuit No. 410.

CODE P015, OPEN ECT SENSOR SIGNAL
Engine coolant temperature sensor is a 2-wire thermistor, whose resistance varies with temperature. Sensor signal is on circuit No. 410. Sensor ground is on circuit No. 476. As sensor temperature increases, sensor resistance decreases. High coolant temperature will result in low signal voltage on circuit No. 410. Code P015 sets because PCM assumes coolant temperature cannot be -20øF (-29øC) or less when IAT is -9.4øF (-23øC) or greater. Test Conditions Codes P037 and P038 not set and IAT sensor value greater than or equal to -9.4øF (-23øC). Failure Conditions ECT sensor value is -20øF (-29øC) or less for 2 seconds. Action PCM turns on MIL and uses IAT sensor value instead of ECT sensor value for all calculations during first 5 minutes of operation. After 5 minutes, PCM uses a value of 194øF (90øC). Transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current levels. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) If sensor or wiring is open, parameter PD04 should indicate -29øC or less. 2) This checks for open sensor signal in circuit No. 410 from PCM to sensor connector. If parameter PD04 indicates 135-151øC with connector shorted, circuits No. 410 and 808 are okay. 3) Checks for open in circuit No. 808 from sensor terminal "A" to ground splice. If shorting terminal "A" to ground causes parameter PD04 to indicate 135-151øC, an open in circuit No. 808 exists. 4) This checks if PCM can recognize a short to ground or low voltage on terminal 1B5, coolant temperature signal. If grounding terminal 1B5 causes PD04 to indicate 135-151øC, circuit No. 410 from PCM to ECT sensor is open.

A low pintle position (less than 9 counts) recorded in the snapshot means a low feedback voltage caused the code to set. A high pintle position (greater than 250 counts) recorded in the snapshot means a high feedback voltage caused the code to set. An intermittent pintle position (9-250 counts) recorded in the snapshot means that code was set because PCM could not control the EGR solenoid either due to intermittents in the solenoid (circuits No. 435 and 741) or EGR valve is sticking.

G - TESTS W/CODES - 4.6LArticle Text (p. 126)1995 Cadillac ConcoursFor Ace Mechanics 123 Main Street San Diego Ca 92 This code test monitors engine RPM and vehicle speed and compares them. PCM will set code when engine speed exceeds fault value for a particular vehicle speed. This code can set due to an electrical problem or slippage of TCC or transaxle clutches. If a TCC failure has
occurred, failure is more likely to be observed under high road load (high MAP) conditions. Use code snapshot data to confirm failure. Test Conditions Codes P024, P026, P027, P028, P031, P032, P034, P056 and P075 not set, transaxle in 3rd or 4th gear and engine running. TCC commanded on (100 percent). Transaxle not in Park or Neutral. Throttle position switch open. Delivered torque from engine not 32 ft. lbs. or less (coast down condition). Delivered torque from engine not 508 ft. lbs. or greater (engine under extreme load). Failure Conditions: 3.11 Ratio (VIN Y) - Slip speed greater than acceptable value based on engine torque delivered for 4.5 seconds.

1) Testing TCC brake switch input to PCM PI71. If test passes, display will change from HI 0 to HI X. If test fails, display will not change. 2) Checks for open in circuit No. 420 between TCC solenoid and TCC brake switch connectors. 3) Checks for open or short inside transaxle. Resistance should be 10-40 ohms. 4) Checks if circuit No. 422 is open or if PCM in unable to control output. 5) Checks PCM's ability to control TCC output. 6) Checks if TCC is operating correctly by checking amount of TCC slip when clutch is engaged. Note On Intermittent Intermittent Code P039 nay be caused by delayed TCC engagement (usually first apply after a cold start) or by TCC slippage during high engine load conditions. Delayed TCC engaged can be checked using PCM output override PS01 (TCC solenoid) to engage and disengage and time how long it takes TCC to engage by watching PCM data PD73. Delays of greater than 5 seconds may cause code to set. TCC slippage during high load conditions can be determined by looking at Code P039 snapshot data. High throttle angle (PD01), MAP (PD02) may indicate a high load condition. Duplicating high load conditions may cause the code to set.

PCM provides a .45-volt reference signal to oxygen sensor on circuit No. 412. When oxygen sensor temperature is less than 392øF (200øC), sensor signal voltage will be about .45 volt and PCM will keep system in open loop operation. When oxygen sensor temperature is greater than 392øF (200øC), sensor will begin to generate a signal voltage. In a rich environment, signal voltage will be greater than . 45 volt. In a lean environment, signal voltage will be less than .45 volt. If PCM is in good control of air/fuel mixture, mixture will change from rich to lean rapidly (at least one change every 2 seconds). When PCM sees oxygen sensor is generating a signal voltage (greater than .45 volt), PCM will send system into closed loop operation. In closed loop operation, PCM will adjust fuel delivery rate to engine based on oxygen sensor readings. Code P042 sets if oxygen sensor stays at lean voltage more than 50 seconds during test conditions. Code P042 also sets when an oxygen sensor circuit fault giving a false lean indication exists or when air/fuel ratio is actually lean due to a vacuum leak or fuel control system fault.

Fig. 113: Code P047 & P107 Diagnostic Flow Chart, IPC-To-PCM Data Link Problem Courtesy of General Motors Corp. CODE P048, EGR SYSTEM FAULT
To perform test, PCM turns off EGR flow to engine and
monitors oxygen sensor (closed loop) integrator. With EGR off, integrator should swing to a greater value, reflecting leaner air/fuel mixtures. If integrator does not swing to a greater value, PCM assumes either EGR was turned off before test started or EGR is flowing and PCM does not have ability to turn it off. PCM monitors EGR 5 times in a given key cycle. If EGR does not respond 3 or more times during a key cycle, Code P048 is set. Test Conditions EGR failed in entire ignition cycle. Codes P013, P014, P015, P017, P021, P022, P024, P031, P032, P034, P042, P043, P044, P045 and P075 not set and 9.2 seconds have elapsed since closed loop fuel control was enabled. Coolant temperature 176-230øF (80-110øC), MAP between 50-80 kPa. Engine speed between 1250-1850 RPM and vehicle speed at 35 MPH or greater. Ignition voltage at 11 volts or greater, and 5 seconds prior to test EGR system at full, rear oxygen sensor toggles for 5 times per second and rear short term fuel trim is at 135 counts or less. Failure Conditions PCM turns off EGR system for 5 seconds. PCM monitors rear fuel integrator for change. Oxygen sensor fails to indicate a leaner mixture in at least 3 of 5 tests during key cycle. Action PCM turns on MIL. EGR is disabled for entire key cycle and transaxle shift adapts are maintained at current levels. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) Diagnose Code P036 first because it can cause EGR system malfunction. 2) If rear bank long term trim is 15 counts or greater than front bank long term trim, a fuel control problem exists. Use Code P046 to diagnose. 3) Checks for a rich engine condition causing Code P048 to set. 4) Checks if by using PCM overrides if EGR valve can be shut off (less than 100 counts). 5) Checks if by using PCM overrides if EGR can be returned to full on (greater than 200 counts). 6) Checks circuit No. 741 and fuse D1 for open. 7) Checks if EGR circuit is open. 8) Checks if circuit No. 435 is open. 9) Checks if PCM is open internally or if circuit No. 435 is shorted to voltage. 10) Checks if EGR valve can correctly respond to PCM signal.

TP sensor is self-adjusting. With ignition off, PCM executes a TP sensor learning routine. After ignition is turned off, PCM will retract ISC until ISC throttle switch opens and throttle linkage is resting on minimum air screw. PCM then stores TP sensor value and calculates a correction. If same correction factor occurs on 2 consecutive key off cycles, TP sensor is corrected to zero degrees using correction factor learned. If value needs correction by greater than 6.5 degrees, Code P055 will be stored in memory at next key on cycle. Parameter PD01 displays incorrect TP sensor values.

PASS-Key(R) system enables engine operation by allowing starter to engage and issuing a fuel enable signal to PCM. Once engine is running, PCM constantly monitors fuel enable signal from PASSKey(R) module. PCM will not cancel fuel injection once it has seen a proper PASS-Key(R) module signal; therefore, stalling conditions cannot occur as a result of a PASS-Key(R) malfunction. Test Conditions Engine has been running for a predetermined amount of time. PASS-Key(R) engine start timer expired.
Failure Conditions PASS-Key(R) fuel enable input incorrect but has been correct G - TESTSthis W/CODES - 4.6LArticle Text (p. 164)1995 Cadillac ConcoursFor Ace Mechanics 123 Main Street San Diego Ca 92 within engine run cycle.

without regard for PASS-Key(R) fuel enable input status. NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
1) If engine will crank, problem has been isolated to PASSKey(R) module, PCM or fuel enable circuit. If engine will not crank, perform PASS-Key(R) system diagnosis. See PASS-KEY(R) DIAGNOSIS. 2) Checking voltage to PCM will identify if PCM is at fault. Typical signal will be about 2-3 volts. 3) Checks if PCM is recognizing cranking fuel enable signal from PASS-Key(R) decoder module. 4) Checks circuit No. 229 for short or open circuit. If circuit is okay, check PASS-Key(R) module terminal contacts. Note On Intermittents If code is intermittent, check for short to ground or voltage on circuit No. 229, intermittent open in circuit No. 229 or intermittent loss of power to module. PASS-Key(R) Diagnosis PASS-Key(R) system interfaces PCM and starter with a power source, decoder module, starter enable relay, ignition switch and instrument cluster. Before replacing PASS-Key(R) module, check system for following common problems. *
* * *
Check ignition key pellet sensing contacts in ignition lock cylinder. Look into cylinder lock. If contacts are damaged, replace cylinder lock. Check PASS-Key(R), PCM and GAGES fuses. Check SECURITY indicator bulb in instrument panel. A defective resistor pellet within ignition key or incorrect resistance value of key (15 different assigned values) will cause vehicle not to start. Key must be correct electrically and mechanically.
If incorrect key is used to try to start vehicle, decoder will not allow vehicle to start for 2-4 minutes, even if after correct key is inserted.

CODE P073, INTERMITTENT ENGINE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR SIGNAL
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor circuit uses 2 pullup resistors for temperature sensing. When sensor resistance is high (indicating low temperatures), PCM uses 3.65-k/ohm resistor and 348ohm resistor in series. As temperature increases to 122øF (50øC), sensor resistance will decrease to 973 ohms. This resistance corresponds to .97 volt at PCM. At this point PCM shifts to single 348-ohm pull-up resistor to measure temperature greater than 122øF (50øC). PCM monitors voltage signal of circuit and assumes engine operation causes coolant temperatures to change at slow rates. This test monitors ECT sensor voltage. If PCM detects a large change in sensor output voltage in a one-second period, code will set. Test Conditions Two seconds have passed since ignition has been turned on and 2 seconds have passed since PCM had shifted ECT sensor pull-up resistors. This occurs when sensor resistance indicates 122øF (50øC). Failure Conditions ECT sensor voltage changes .3 volt in one second. Action Code P073 is set. No service message is given. NOTE:
Test number refers to number on diagnostic chart. Reference to CHART 3 refers to POWERTRAIN CHARTS.
1) Checks Code P073 snapshot value to determine if an intermittent high or low resistance caused code to set. An intermittent high resistance can be caused by an open in circuit No. 410 or 808. An intermittent low resistance can be caused by a short to ground in circuit No. 410.

PCM continuously learns base idle position. This base idle position is the relationship of engine RPM to throttle position. PCM is limited to a fixed amount of learned throttle angle that it can apply. When this limit is reached, Code P085 will set. The cause of this increase in learned throttle angle is usually deposits in throttle body. Test Conditions Constantly monitored. Failure Conditions A/C on or off, learned idle throttle angle 3.9 degrees or greater. Action PCM turns on MIL. NOTE:
Test number refers to number on diagnostic chart.
1) Checks for other throttle position sensor codes being set, causing other throttle body problems. 2) Checks if throttle body deposits are causing the increase in learned throttle angle. Check for loose fitting air duct or air cleaner causing debris to enter throttle body. 3) Checks if ISC motor can retract far enough to close throttle position switch. 4) Checks for proper operation of ISC motor. Notes On Intermittents PCM Code P085 may set due to an engine overheated condition in which PCM will only allow engine to run on 4 cylinders, causing a high idle throttle angle. If this occurs, clear PCM Code P085, reset idle learn using PCM override PS13 and perform TP sensor/idle learn.
