System Operation
Use this procedure to troubleshoot any suspect problems with the following sensors:
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Engine oil temperature sensor
Filtered fuel temperature sensor
Left intake manifold air temperature sensor
Right intake manifold air temperature sensor (No 2)
High pressure fuel temperature sensor
The sensor signal for the passive sensors is routed to terminal 1 of each sensor connector. The analog return for the passive sensors is routed from the
ECM to terminal 2 of each sensor connector.
The following components can cause these codes:
Electrical connector or wiring
Sensor
ECM
The most likely cause of a code is a problem with an electrical connector or wiring. The least likely cause of a code is the ECM.
