YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor and the
ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 31.

31. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0452 in the DTCs MENU with the

HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs
were indicated in step 30, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.

NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose
terminals at the FTP sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen
indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.

32. Reconnect all connectors.
33. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING

ECM/PCM ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING
THE ECM/PCM ).

34. Start the engine, and let it idle.
35. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0452 indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP sensor and the
ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good
ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 34. If
the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 36.

36. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0452 in the DTCs MENU with the

YES - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the
ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM
REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in
step 35, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.

NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose
terminals at the FTP sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated,
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE
ECM/PCM ), then go to step 34. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step
1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes
on.
