For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Diagnostic Test
1. DTC IS ACTIVE
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
Cycle the ignition key off and on several times, leaving the ignition on for at least 10 seconds at a time.
Start the engine.
Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure.Component Tests and General Diagnostics
2. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage above 4.5 volts?
Yes
- Go to 6
No
- Go to 3
3. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connectors.
Measure the resistance between ground and the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 4
No
- Repair the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
4. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
Measure the resistance between the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit and the Boost Pressure Sensor Ground circuit in the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 5
No
- Repair the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to the Boost Pressure Sensor Ground circuit.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
5. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance of the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit between the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 10
No
- Repair the Boost Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
6. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
NOTE: The scan tool should display a Boost Pressure Sensor high voltage or open DTC with the Boost Pressure Sensor connector disconnected.
Does the scan tool display the DTC(s) as described above?
Yes
- Replace the Boost Pressure Sensor.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
No
- Go to 7
7. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit in the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 8
No
- Repair the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
8. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
Measure the resistance between the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit and the Boost Pressure Sensor Ground circuit in the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 9
No
- Repair the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to the Boost Pressure Sensor Ground circuit.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
9. BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance of the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit between the Boost Pressure Sensor harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 10
No
- Repair the Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
10. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Boost Pressure Sensor and the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
Search for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
No
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1.Verification Tests
