Is there continuity?

YES -Repair short in the wire between the ECM (A18) and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor,
then go to step 17.

NO -Go to step 24.

15. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

16. Replace the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor (see OUTPUT SHAFT (COUNTERSHAFT)

SPEED SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).

17. Reconnect all connectors.

18. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

19. Reset the ECM with the HDS.

20. Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).

21. Test-drive under these conditions:



Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)



Transmission in 5th gear



Engine speed between 2,000-3,000 rpm



Drive for several minutes, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 8 seconds

22. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0720 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and
the ECM, then go to step 1.

NO -Go to step 23.

23. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0720 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 22, go
to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the output shaft
(countershaft) speed sensor and the ECM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED,
go to step 21.

24. Reconnect all connectors.

25. Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or

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

26. Test-drive under these conditions:



Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)



Transmission in 5th gear



Engine speed between 2,000-3,000 rpm



Drive for several minutes, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 8 seconds

27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0720 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and
the ECM. If the ECM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM (see SUBSTITUTING THE
ECM/PCM ), then go to step 26. If the ECM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO -Go to step 28.

28. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0720 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES -If the ECM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM was substituted, replace the
original ECM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were
indicated in step 27, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the output shaft
(countershaft) speed sensor and the ECM. If the ECM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM (see
SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 26. If the ECM was substituted, go to step 1. If the
screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 26.

DTC P1109: BARO SENSOR CIRCUIT OUT OF RANGE HIGH

1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.

2. Start the engine.

3. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P1109 indicated?

YES -Go to step 4.

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are
indicated, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

4. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or

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

5. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P1109 indicated?

YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE
ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO -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 are indicated, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

DTC P1116: ECT SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE PROBLEM

1. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 1 and ECT sensor 2.

Are the connections and terminals OK?

YES -Go to step 2.

NO -Repair the connectors or terminals, then go to step 27.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

NOTE:

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and
review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

NOTE:



Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board
snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).



If DTC P0111 is stored at the same time as DTC P1116, troubleshoot DTC
P0111 first, then recheck for DTC P1116.
