FUEL PUMP INLET STRAINER

Turn the ignition off.

WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engine off). Before testing or ser-
vicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel system pressure must be released. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
Remove the Fuel Pump Module and inspect the Fuel Inlet Strainer.

Is the Fuel Inlet Strainer plugged?

Yes

>> Replace the Fuel Pump Inlet Strainer.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Before continuing, check the Fuel Pump Module harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or

terminal push out. Make sure the ground circuit is operating properly. Repair as necessary. Replace the
Fuel Pump Module.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

14.

IGNITION WIRE

NOTE: If the vehicle being tested does not have an ignition wire answer YES to this test and continue.
Turn the ignition off.

Remove the ignition wire.

Measure the resistance of the ignition wire.

Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

Yes

>> Go To 15

No

>> Replace the Ignition Wire.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

15.

IGNITION COIL

Disconnect the Ignition Coil harness connector.

Remove the Fuel Pump Relay.

Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (K19) Coil
Control No.1 circuit.

Crank the engine for 5 second while observing the test light.

Does the test light brightly blink/flicker?

Yes

>> Replace the Ignition Coil.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to
9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Go To 16

(K19) COIL CONTROL NO.1 CIRCUIT

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the
PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting
in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815
to perform diagnosis.
Check the (K19) Coil Control No.1 circuit for an open, short to ground,
and short to voltage.

Was a problem found with the (K19) Coil Control No.1 circuit?

Yes

>> Repair the (K19) Coil Control No.1 circuit.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to
9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Go To 17

17.

PCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal
push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and
Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

>> Repair as necessary.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No

>> Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

LX

•

When Monitored:
Any time the engine is running, and the adaptive numerator has been successfully updated.

•

Set Condition:
The threshold to set the fault is application specific; it is tied to the level of misfire that will cause emissions to
increase to 1.5 times the standard or in some cases 1%. It is always a two trip fault above the calibrated RPM.
It takes 1 soft fail to set a malfunction and two trips to set the MIL. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Possible Causes

(K343) ASD RELAY OUTPUT 2 CIRCUIT

(K12) INJECTOR CONTROL NO.2 CIRCUIT

(K17) COIL CONTROL NO.2 CIRCUIT

IGNITION WIRE

SPARK PLUG

IGNITION COIL

FUEL PUMP INLET STRAINER PLUGGED

RESTRICTED FUEL SUPPLY LINE

ENGINE MECHANICAL PROBLEM

PCM

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Diagnostic Test

1.

CYLINDER MIS-FIRE CONDITION ACTIVE

Engine running.

Observe the WHICH CYLINDER IS MISFIRING screen for at least one minute with the scan tool.

Is there a misfire present?

Yes

>> Go To 2

No

>> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.

Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2.

VISUAL INSPECTION

NOTE: Anything that affects the speed of the crankshaft can cause a misfire DTC.

NOTE: When a Misfire is detected for a particular cylinder, the PCM will shut down that cylinders Injector
Control circuit.
Visually inspect the engine for any of the following conditions.

- Worn serpentine belt

- Binding Engine-Driven accessories: A/C Compressor, P/S Pump, Water pump.

- Misalignment Water pump, P/S Pump and A/C Compressor pulleys

- Corroded PCM power and ground circuits.

- Improper CKP, CMP, MAP, and TP Sensor mounting

- Poor connector/terminal to component connection. i.e., CKP sensor, Fuel Injector, Ign coil, etc.

- Vacuum leaks

- Restricted Air Induction system or Exhaust system.
