Component Inspection

  1. PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve check.
    1. Key "OFF".
    2. Disconnect PCV valve.
    3. Check PCV plunger movement.
    4. Is the movement of plunger normal?

      YES 

      • Go to  2 "PCSV check" procedure.

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known - good PCV valve and check for proper operation.
      • If the problem is corrected, replace PCV valve and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  2. PCSV check.
    1. Key "OFF".
    2. Disconnect PCSV and vacuum hose.
    3. Apply a vacuum by a hand vacuum gauge on PCSV.
    4. Does PCSV keep the vacuum condition normally?

      YES 

      • Go to  3 "Injector check" procedure.

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known - good PCSV and check for proper operation.
      • If the problem is corrected, replace PCSV and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  3. Injector check.
    1. Key "OFF".
    2. Disconnect injectors.
    3. Check clog on injectors.
    4. Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of injectors (Component side).

    5. Is the measured resistance within specifications?

      YES 

      • Go to  4 "Sensors related to air/fuel ratio check" procedure.

      NO 

  4. Sensors related to air/fuel ratio check.
    1. Check the output data of sensors related to air/fuel ratio (HO2S, MAPS, TPS, ECTS, PCSV, Injectors, etc) on scantool. (Refer to each DTC guide procedure .)
    2. Are those sensors normal?

      YES 

      • Substitute with a known - good ECM/PCM and check for proper operation.
      • If the problem is corrected, replace ECM/PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM/PCM.
      Before or after testing ECM/PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the ECM/PCM

      NO
