ISSUE
Some 2005-2007 Freestyle, Five Hundred, and Montego vehicles may exhibit an intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0106 and I or P0109 when ambient temperatures drop below freezing. DTCs P2111, P2112 and! or P2072 may also be present. Vehicles may also exhibit long crank times (up to 5 seconds) with P2072.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release B54.8 and higher or B55.1 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.3 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
2. Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) line from the intake manifold and the EGR system module (ESM) and use shop air to blow out any water that may be present. (Figure 1)
3. Push the black plastic vacuum line 1/4" (6.3 mm) into the elbow connector at the intake manifold end of the line. (Figure 2). This will minimize the potential for any moisture that may be present from entering the line.
4. Install MAP line.
5. Using the scan tool, monitor the MAP voltage at key on engine off (KOEO) and at key on engine running (KOER). The MAP voltages should NOT match. If they do, this indicates the black plastic vacuum line has been inserted beyond the 1/4" (6.3 mm) specified and has bottomed against the black rubber elbow connector. The vacuum line must then be backed out slightly to restore vacuum flow.
