(K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Measure the resistance between ground and the (K1) MAP Signal cir-
cuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

>> Repair the short to ground in the (K1) MAP Signal circuit.

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

No

EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

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.
Measure the resistance of the (K900) Sensor ground circuit from the
MAP Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special
tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

>> Go To 17

No

>> Repair the excessive resistance in the (K900) Sensor

ground circuit.

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

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.

•

When Monitored:
Engine off time is greater than 480 minutes. Ambient temperature is greater than 4 deg C (38 deg F).

•

Set Condition:
After a calibrated amount of cool down time the PCM compares the ECT Sensor, IAT Sensor, and the Ambient
Air Temp Sensor values. If the IAT Sensor value is not within –10 deg C (18 deg F) of the other two temper-
ature sensors. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Possible Causes

(G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

(G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

(K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

(G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

(G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

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

Diagnostic Test

1.

ACTIVE DTC

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, read DTCs.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

>> Go To 2

No

>> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.

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