P2077-INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING VALVE POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW







- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.

- Set Condition:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the PWM signal from the Manifold Tune Valve Position sensor is below the minimum acceptable value.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.

1. MTV PWM FEEDBACK
1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor supply voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

2. With the scan tool, read the MTV PWM Feedback.

Is the MTV PWM Feedback less than 3%?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Perform the CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. Checking for an Intermittent DTC.

2. MANIFOLD TUNE VALVE ASSEMBLY
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, read the MTV PWM Feedback.

NOTE: The MTV PWM Feedback should be greater than 97% with the connector disconnected.

Is the MTV PWM Feedback greater than 97%?

Yes

- Replace the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE




1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Measure the voltage of the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly harness connector.

Is the voltage above 4.5 volts?

Yes

- Go To 7

No

- Go To 4

4. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly harness connector.

Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.

5. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT




1. Measure the resistance between the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit in the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly harness connector.

Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 6

No

- Repair the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit for a short to the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.

6. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE





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 PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.

1. Measure the resistance of the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit between the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminal of PCM Pinout Box 8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 11

No

- Repair the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.

7. (K234) MTV SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K234) MTV Signal circuit in the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly harness connector.

Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 8

No

- Repair the (K234) MTV Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.

8. (K234) MTV SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT




1. Measure the resistance between the (K234) MTV Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit in the Manifold Tune Valve Assembly harness connector.

Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 9

No
