P2066-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 2 PERFORMANCE
1 of 159
THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION: The Fuel Level Sensor information is a bus message sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) from the Body Control Module (BCM). On the
primary side of the saddle tank is the Electric Fuel Pump Module that feeds the engine and the Primary Fuel Level Sensor. On the secondary side of the saddle tank is a Venturi

Jet Pump and the Secondary Fuel Level Sensor. The Jet Pump is connected to the Electric Fuel Pump Module on the primary side by way of a siphon tube.
The primary sensor is powered by a voltage close to vehicle battery (minus a diode voltage drop). If disconnected, the signal circuit voltage will be equal to source
voltage, which is approximately 12.0 volts. On a normally functioning system with no circuit faults, the voltage reading on the signal circuit at the Fuel Level Sensor
should be between approximately 1.0 volt (full tank) and 10.5 volts (empty tank). The voltage is used up through the resistor on the Fuel Level Sensor, therefore the
voltage reading on the return circuit should be zero volts with the connector plugged in. The voltage reading for the scan tool is scaled to read between approximately
0.6 volts (full tank) and 4.5 volts (empty tank) on a normally functioning system.
NOTE: If the signal voltage measures source voltage with the connector plugged in, it would indicate either a short to voltage on the
signal circuit or an open Fuel Level Sensor or Return circuit.
The secondary sensor operates like a typical 5.0 volt sensor. A high fuel level or volume will result in a low voltage reading and a low fuel level or volume will result in
a high voltage reading (I.E. approximately 0.5 - 0.7 volts at the full position and 4.3 - 4.5 volts at the empty position) when operating properly.
The PCM uses the average from both sides to determine the total fuel volume.
RATIONALITY DIAGNOSTIC: The fuel volume on the secondary side of the Fuel Tank will be at empty before the primary side of the Fuel Tank will begin to decrease due
to the siphon tube flow rate always exceeding the engines fuel consumption rate. Using this assumption, the PCM performs a diagnostic to check the rationality of both Fuel
Level Sensors, as well as the operation of the jet pump and siphon tube as follows;
When the total fuel volume is greater than 50% the primary tank should remain at the full position. As fuel is consumed, or sloshes over to the secondary tank while
driving, the jet pump and siphon tube will replenish the primary tank to the full position and the secondary fuel level should decrease.
When the total fuel volume is less than 50%, the secondary tank should be at empty and the primary fuel volume should start to decrease as fuel is consumed by the
engine.
If either scenario fails to happen the PCM will determine that one of the Fuel Level Sensors is stuck in range, or that the Jet Pump or siphon tube is faulty not allowing fuel to
transfer from the secondary side to the primary side of the Fuel Tank.
The rationality diagnostic for the primary side of the tank will not become enabled until the secondary side level is near empty.
The rationality diagnostic for the secondary side of the tank is based on the average fuel volume in the tank. It is enabled when there is enough total fuel to fill the
primary tank plus enough fuel to check the rationality of the Secondary Fuel Level Sensor when a calibrated amount of fuel is consumed.
Since the amount of fuel consumed from trip to trip varies based on customer drive cycles, this monitor can accumulate fuel consumption over multiple drive cycles. The
monitor will run until enough fuel has been consumed to make a decision. Once a decision is made, a new test will start.
WHEN MONITORED
This diagnostic runs continuously when the following conditions are met:
SET CONDITION
No change in Fuel Level Sensor 2 circuit voltage after a significant amount of fuel should have been consumed based on a calculated value and the vehicle operating
conditions.

2. MONITOR THE SECONDARY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR VOLTAGE READING FOR AN OPEN SPOT ON THE SENSOR
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engine off). Before testing or servicing any fuel system hose, fitting
or line, the fuel system pressure must be released. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal
injury.
NOTE: When the Fuel Tank is completely empty, the Fuel Level Sensors should read at or near empty (indicated by a voltage
reading of approximately 4.3-4.5 volts).
NOTE: Make sure that you have enough fuel to put back into the vehicle to make a good determination of the Fuel Level Sensor 2
voltage feedback. It may be necessary to add more fuel to what was removed in order to do so. Keep in mind that the
primary side of the tank must fill completely before fuel starts to flow over to the secondary tank.
7. While monitoring the Fuel Level Sensor voltage reading on scan tool, begin putting fuel back into the Fuel Tank.
NOTE: The Primary Fuel Level Sensor voltage should decrease as fuel is added until it reaches near full. As fuel starts to overflow
to the secondary tank, the Secondary Fuel Level Sensor voltage should also start to decrease at a steady rate. Watch for
the Secondary Fuel Level Sensor voltage to change drastically while fuel is being added. If the voltage suddenly changes
to or near 5.0 volts, it would indicate a bad spot (open) on that portion of the sensor.
Did the Secondary Fuel Level Sensor reading suddenly change to 5.0 volts at any time while adding fuel?

SET CONDITION
The conditions that cause this diagnostic to fail is when the Upstream O2 Sensor becomes biased from an exhaust leak, O2 Sensor contamination, or some other extreme
operating condition. The Downstream O2 Sensor is considered to be protected from extreme environments by the catalyst. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
monitors the Downstream O2 Sensor feedback control, called downstream fuel trim, to detect any shift in the Upstream O2 Sensor target voltage from nominal target
voltage. The value of the downstream fuel trim is compared with the lean thresholds. Every time the value exceeds the calibrated threshold, a fail timer will increment
and mass flow through the exhaust is accumulated. If the fail timer and accumulated mass flow exceed the fail thresholds, the test fails and the diagnostic stops running
for that trip. If the test fails on consecutive trips, a DTC is set.

This diagnostic runs continuously when the following conditions are met:
SET CONDITION
The conditions that cause this diagnostic to fail is when the Upstream O2 Sensor becomes biased from an exhaust leak, O2 Sensor contamination, or some other extreme
operating condition. The Downstream O2 Sensor is considered to be protected from extreme environments by the catalyst. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
monitors the Downstream O2 Sensor feedback control, called downstream fuel trim, to detect any shift in the Upstream O2 Sensor target voltage from nominal target
voltage. The value of the downstream fuel trim is compared with the lean thresholds. Every time the value exceeds the calibrated threshold, a fail timer will increment
and mass flow through the exhaust is accumulated. If the fail timer and accumulated mass flow exceed the fail thresholds, the test fails and the diagnostic stops running
for that trip.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor applications today use Induction/Hall Sensors (non-contact).
23 of 159
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system uses two Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors to monitor the accelerator pedal position. The APP Sensors 1 and 2 are
integrated into one assembly located at the pedal assembly. Each sensor has a 5 volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) reads the two signals individually and then compares the two signals as a redundant check of the pedal position. The APP 1 signal will fluctuate somewhere
between 0 volts and 5.0 volts. The APP 2 signal will fluctuate somewhere between 0 volts and 2.5 volts. The fluctuation of the two sensors should move proportionately. When
operating properly, the voltage reading of the APP 2 will always be approximately half of the voltage reading of the APP 1.
The signal for APP 2 is also used by the PCM for an internal ground check. This test runs a couple of times per second and is the reason why the APP 2 signal spikes to ground
regularly during normal operation. If graphing the APP 1 and APP 2 signals for diagnostic purposes, view the figure below to see how the signals will look on a normally
functioning APP system.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor applications today use Induction/Hall Sensors (non-contact).
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system uses two Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors to monitor the accelerator pedal position. The APP Sensors 1 and 2 are
integrated into one assembly located at the pedal assembly. Each sensor has a 5 volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) reads the two signals individually and then compares the two signals as a redundant check of the pedal position. The APP 1 signal will fluctuate somewhere
between 0 volts and 5.0 volts. The APP 2 signal will fluctuate somewhere between 0 volts and 2.5 volts. The fluctuation of the two sensors should move proportionately. When
operating properly, the voltage reading of the APP 2 will always be approximately half of the voltage reading of the APP 1.
The signal for APP 2 is also used by the PCM for an internal ground check. This test runs a couple of times per second and is the reason why the APP 2 signal spikes to ground
regularly during normal operation. If graphing the APP 1 and APP 2 signals for diagnostic purposes, view the figure below to see how the signals will look on a normally
functioning APP system.

operating properly, the voltage reading of the APP 2 will always be approximately half of the voltage reading of the APP 1.
The signal for APP 2 is also used by the PCM for an internal ground check. This test runs a couple of times per second and is the reason why the APP 2 signal spikes to ground

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system uses two Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) to monitor the throttle blade position. TPS 1 and TPS 2 are located within the Throttle
Body Assembly. The sensors share a common 5-Volt Reference circuit (Supply) and a common Sensor Ground but each sensor has its own Signal circuit (TPS 1 and TPS 2).
Each Signal circuit provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with a signal voltage proportionate to throttle blade movement. Normally operating sensor signals are
opposing to each other in the following manner:
TPS 1 voltage starts low, approximately 0.5 volts at closed throttle, and increases to approximately 4.3 volts at wide open throttle .
TPS 2 voltage starts high, approximately 4.5 volts at closed throttle, and decreases to approximately 0.7 volts at wide open throttle .
61 of 159
The PCM performs multiple diagnostics on the Throttle Position Sensors. Along with the typical circuit high and circuit low diagnostics, the PCM also checks the TPS
calculation for any correlation issues. Below is an explanation of how the PCM checks the Absolute Difference between the two sensors:
The actual algorithm used in the diagnostic is: (TPS 1 value) - (5V - TPS 2 value) should be equal to 0.0V (+/- 0.25 volt error).
EXAMPLE 1: Using the voltage readings from the example table below for a NORMAL SENSOR at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE, calculate the Absolute Difference
of TPS 1 and TPS 2 as follows:
TPS 1(4.313V) - TPS 2(5V - 0.698V = 4.302V), or 4.313V - 4.302V = 0.011V.
This is a good sensor correlation reading because the difference is less than the +/- 0.25 volt threshold.
EXAMPLE 2: Using the voltage readings from the example table below for a FAULTY SENSOR at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE , calculate the Absolute Difference of
TPS 1 and TPS 2 as follows:
TPS 1(3.993V) - TPS 2(5V - 0.698V = 4.302V), or 3.993V - 4.302V = -0.309V.
This is a failed sensor correlation reading because the difference is more than the +/- 0.25 volt threshold.
Another easier way of calculating this Absolute Difference is to add TPS 1 and TPS 2 voltage values together. The sum of the two values should equal 5.0 volts +/- 0.25 volts.
If the sum of the two values is less than 4.75V, or more than 5.25V, the correlation DTC will set.
EXAMPLE 1: Using the same voltage readings from as EXAMPLE 1 above for a NORMAL SENSOR at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE :
Add TPS 1(4.313V) + TPS 2(0.698V) = 5.011V.
This is a good sensor correlation reading because the difference between 5.0V and 5.11V is less than the +/- 0.25 volt threshold.
EXAMPLE 2: Using the same voltage readings from the table above for a FAULTY SENSOR at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE :
Add TPS 1(3.993V) + TPS 2(0.698V) = 4.691V.
This is a failed sensor correlation reading because the difference between 5.0V and 4.691V is more than the +/- 0.25 volt threshold.
DISCLAIMER: The normal sensor voltage readings in the table below are typical readings for a Throttle Body on a 3.6L engine. The voltage values will vary slightly for
different engines. THIS IS INTENDED AS AN EXAMPLE to aid in explaining how the diagnostic performs the Absolute Difference calculation between TPS 1 and TPS 2.
THROTTLE POSITION (NORMAL TYPICAL TPS 1 VOLTAGE TYPICAL TPS 2 VOLTAGE (TPS 1) - (TPS 2) ERROR
SENSOR)
CLOSED THROTTLE 0.542V 4.456V -0.002V
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE 4.313V 0.698V 0.011V
THROTTLE POSITION (FAULTY TPS 1 VOLTAGE TPS 2 VOLTAGE (TPS 1) - (TPS 2) ERROR
SENSOR)
CLOSED THROTTLE 0.252V 4.456V Absolute Difference -0.292V
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE 3.993V 0.698V Absolute Difference -0.309V
WHEN MONITORED
SET CONDITION
The absolute difference between TPS 1 and TPS 2 signals is more than 0.25 volts for between 0.04 and 0.14 seconds depending on calibration.

The purpose of the Cylinder Imbalance Detection diagnostic monitor is to detect an air/fuel ratio imbalance between the cylinders across an entire cylinder bank.
NOTE: Although it does not indicate as such, this fault will set because a specific cylinder on this bank is out of balance with the other
cylinders. The fault may not be easily noticeable to the technician. During diagnosis, it is necessary to pay close attention to small
83 of 159
differences between the cylinders during each of the test steps.
This imbalance can be caused by a number of different malfunctions including but not limited to:
The Cylinder Imbalance Detection requires that the Upstream Oxygen (O2) Sensors are capable of operating at high frequencies, since an aged O2 Sensors response capability
at a higher frequency range can be degraded. Therefore, before this monitor can become active, the O2 Sensor High Frequency Response monitor is performed to see if the
sensor is even capable of detecting an imbalance.
Once active, the Cylinder Imbalance Detection monitor matches up the Upstream O2 Sensor signal with the corresponding cylinders on that bank. Each cylinder is monitored
and adjustments are made as needed for each cylinder to correct an air/fuel ratio imbalance. If an individual cylinder reaches a calibrated adaptation threshold (15%), the
diagnostic monitor will be considered failing.
WHEN MONITORED

NOTE: The MAF Sensor was eliminated starting in model years. It has been replaced by a standalone Intake Air Sensor that was previously
part of the MAF Sensor.
NOTE: The four MAP Sensors also have an integral air temperature sensor. The temperature sensors have a 5.0 volt signal circuit and share
the sensor ground circuit with the pressure sensor. They do not share the 5-Volt Reference circuit with the pressure sensor and
therefore operate as a typical two wire temperature sensor.
The 6.2L engine uses several sensors to monitor the air pressure and temperature throughout the intake air system. The PCM uses this information to help calculate fuel
delivery, ignition timing and Supercharger control. The PCM runs diagnostics to check the rationality of the sensors. The Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor is the centralized
88 of 159
sensor in the system and is the main sensor used for the rationality diagnostics of the airflow before and after the Throttle Body.
At ignition on, engine not running, the BARO Sensor and four MAP/Pressure Sensor input signals are compared. If one of the MAP/Pressure Sensor input signals has a
difference of more than a calibrated threshold from the others, a performance fault is set against that sensor.
With the engine running, the input signals of the three MAP/Pressure Sensors that are downstream of the Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor (Supercharger Outlet
Pressure Sensor, Bank 1 MAP, Bank 2 MAP) are compared. If one of the sensor input signals has more than a 10.0 kPa (1.5 psi) difference from the other two, a
performance fault is set against that sensor.
The Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor signal is compared to the BARO signal to check rationality of the sensors. During natural aspiration, the Supercharger Inlet
Pressure Sensor signal cannot be greater than the BARO signal plus 10.3 kPa (1.49 psi). During boost conditions, the Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor signal and
BARO signal pressures should be similar. If the diagnostic fails during a drive cycle, a fault is set (P0069) and the secondary Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor
rationality diagnostic is run to determine which sensor is irrational.
If either of the first two diagnostics fail during a given trip, or if one of the downstream MAP/Pressure Sensors is determined to be irrational, the PCM runs a secondary
diagnostic to determine if the Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor is rational. With the engine in a natural aspiration condition (not boosted), the PCM compares the signal
input from the Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor to the signal inputs from the Supercharger Outlet Pressure Sensor, Bank 1 MAP, and Bank 2 MAP Sensors. If the
Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor is not within a calibrated threshold of the other three MAP/Pressure Sensors, it is determined to be irrational and a fault is set
(P012B).
After a cold soak of the engine, the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) and Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor inputs are compared to the inputs form each of the
temperature sensors located in the MAP Sensors. If a temperature sensor is not within a calibrated threshold of the ECT or AAT Sensors, a performance fault is set.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The wide-band O2 Sensor operates differently than traditional O2 Sensors. The wide-band O2 Sensor tip consists of two cells that provide different functions, a measurement
chamber and a detection chamber with pumping capabilities. The oxygen pumping function is the ability to pump oxygen into or out of the measurement chamber depending on
the level of oxygen in the measurement chamber. This function provides the wide-band sensing capabilities and is critical for proper oxygen measurement. The O2 Sensor
Reference circuit provides a common bias supply to both the O2 Sensor Signal and the O2 Sensor Pump Cell Current circuits.
During normal operation, the O2 Sensor Reference voltage and O2 Sensor Signal voltage will be a fixed voltage value. The O2 Sensor Current Pump voltage will switch from
between 0.45 volts above and below the fixed O2 Sensor Return voltage, allowing current to flow in either direction through the pump. This correlates with the pumping of
oxygen into and out of the measurement chamber. On a properly operating vehicle, this happens very quickly and the voltage reading should maintain a steady 0.45 volts when
94 of 159
taking a voltage measurement between the O2 Sensor Signal circuit and the O2 Sensor Reference circuit of the O2 Sensor with the engine running and the O2 Sensor operating
in closed loop.
When the exhaust stream has a lean air/fuel ratio (high oxygen content) the pumping element voltage will move toward +0.45 volts pumping oxygen out of the measurement
chamber. When the exhaust stream has a rich air/fuel ratio (relatively low oxygen content) the pumping element voltage will move toward -0.45 volts pumping oxygen into the
measurement chamber.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The wide-band O2 Sensor operates differently than traditional O2 Sensors. The wide-band O2 Sensor tip consists of two cells that provide different functions, a measurement
chamber and a detection chamber with pumping capabilities. The oxygen pumping function is the ability to pump oxygen into or out of the measurement chamber depending on
the level of oxygen in the measurement chamber. This function provides the wide-band sensing capabilities and is critical for proper oxygen measurement. The O2 Sensor
Reference circuit provides a common bias supply to both the O2 Sensor Signal and the O2 Sensor Pump Cell Current circuits.
During normal operation, the O2 Sensor Reference voltage and O2 Sensor Signal voltage will be a fixed voltage value. The O2 Sensor Current Pump voltage will switch from
between 0.45 volts above and below the fixed O2 Sensor Return voltage, allowing current to flow in either direction through the pump. This correlates with the pumping of
oxygen into and out of the measurement chamber. On a properly operating vehicle, this happens very quickly and the voltage reading should maintain a steady 0.45 volts when
106 of 159
taking a voltage measurement between the O2 Sensor Signal circuit and the O2 Sensor Reference circuit of the O2 Sensor with the engine running and the O2 Sensor operating
in closed loop.
When the exhaust stream has a lean air/fuel ratio (high oxygen content) the pumping element voltage will move toward +0.45 volts pumping oxygen out of the measurement
chamber. When the exhaust stream has a rich air/fuel ratio (relatively low oxygen content) the pumping element voltage will move toward -0.45 volts pumping oxygen into the
measurement chamber.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The wide-band O2 Sensor operates differently than traditional O2 Sensors. The wide-band O2 Sensor tip consists of two cells that provide different functions, a measurement
chamber and a detection chamber with pumping capabilities. The oxygen pumping function is the ability to pump oxygen into or out of the measurement chamber depending on
the level of oxygen in the measurement chamber. This function provides the wide-band sensing capabilities and is critical for proper oxygen measurement. The O2 Sensor
Reference circuit provides a common bias supply to both the O2 Sensor Signal and the O2 Sensor Pump Cell Current circuits.
During normal operation, the O2 Sensor Reference voltage and O2 Sensor Signal voltage will be a fixed voltage value. The O2 Sensor Current Pump voltage will switch from
between 0.45 volts above and below the fixed O2 Sensor Return voltage, allowing current to flow in either direction through the pump. This correlates with the pumping of
oxygen into and out of the measurement chamber. On a properly operating vehicle, this happens very quickly and the voltage reading should maintain a steady 0.45 volts when
128 of 159
taking a voltage measurement between the O2 Sensor Signal circuit and the O2 Sensor Reference circuit of the O2 Sensor with the engine running and the O2 Sensor operating
in closed loop.
When the exhaust stream has a lean air/fuel ratio (high oxygen content) the pumping element voltage will move toward +0.45 volts pumping oxygen out of the measurement
chamber. When the exhaust stream has a rich air/fuel ratio (relatively low oxygen content) the pumping element voltage will move toward -0.45 volts pumping oxygen into the
measurement chamber.

For an aged Upstream Oxygen (O2) Sensor, the response rate to the air/fuel change is slower than when it was new. The O2 Sensor tends to move less with the same air/fuel
changes in a given time frame. Therefore by observing the activity of voltage readings from the Upstream O2 Sensor, the quality of the O2 Sensor can be detected. The
Downstream O2 Sensor is located in the exhaust path behind the Catalytic Converter, and is monitored for proper response to assure optimum Catalytic Converter efficiency.
The Downstream O2 Sensor response monitor is intended to diagnose a Downstream O2 Sensor that is not moving or stuck in a voltage window and to insure accurate
information for catalyst monitor diagnosis.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The purpose of this diagnostic monitor is to verify that each coil-on-plug Ignition Coil has achieved a sufficient burn. The primary winding of the Ignition Coils are supplied 12
volts from the Fused Automatic Shut Down (ASD) Relay Output circuit. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) completes the ground circuit (low side driver) allowing the
156 of 159
energy to build the magnetic field of the primary coil. The PCM will open the low side driver to allow the magnetic field to collapse to the secondary winding and be
transferred to the spark plug. The PCM determines spark timing by monitoring engine operating parameters from the inputs of various sensors and then calculating the
appropriate moment to initiate the spark event.
WHEN MONITORED
SET CONDITION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects the secondary ignition burn time is incorrect or not present.
