1997 Chevrolet $10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Setf-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series INTRODUCTION Most engine control problems are the result of mechanical breakdowns, poor electrical connections or damaged vacumun hoses. Before considering the computer system as a possible cause of problems, perform checks and inspections covered in the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article. Failure to do so may result in lost diagnostic time. Ifno faults found performing procedures in the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article, proceed with DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no fault codes are present and driveability problems exist, proceed to the TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, ete.), If only intermittent codes are present, see INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM NOTE: For On-Board Diagnostic System Check see the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article. NOTE: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may also be referred to as Vehicle Control Module (VCM) in some diagnostic text and illustrations. Terms may be used interchangeably. PCMIVCM is equipped with a self-diagnostie system, which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunetion occurs, PCM/VCM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and, in most cases, illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) located on instrument cluster. Malfunetions are recorded as hard failures or as intermittent failures. There are 4 types of DIC eategory: « Type "A" - Emissions related, turns on MIL the first time DTC sets. « Type "B" - Emissions related, turns on MIL if fault is active for 2 consecutive driving eyeles. «+ Type "C" - Non-emissions related, does not tum on MIL, but will tum on SERVICE light. + Type "D" - Non-emissions related, does not turn on MIL or SERVICE light. HARD FAILURES ‘Most hard failures cause MIL to illuminate and remain on vatil malfunction is repaired. If MIL comes on and remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined, See DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE Ifa sensor fails, PCM/VCM will use a substitute value in its calculations to continue engine operation. In this, condition, vehicle is functional, but it will most likely display degraded driveability. INTERMITTENT FAILURES1997 Chevrolet $10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Setf-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series Intermittent failures cause MIL to flicker or glow and go out about 10 seconds after intermittent fault goes away. Corresponding DTC, however, will be retained in PCM/VCM memory. If related fault does not reoccur within 50 engine starts, trouble code will be erased from control module memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by sensor, connector or Wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article. NOTE: OBD II vehicles have options available in the scan tool DTC mode to display enhanced information available. However, to fully utilize information and procedures requires the use of a Tech 1 or 2 scan tool. See scan tool operator's manual for additional information. The following are Tech | or 2 sean tool sub-menus in the DIC INFO and SPECIFIC DTC modes: DTC INFO MODE Used to search for a specitic type of stored DTC information. There are 7 choices in this mode. Technician may be instructed to test DTC(s) in a certain manner. Follow the affected DTC test procedures. To get complete description of any status, hit ENTER key before pressing the desired F-key. DIC STATUS This selection will display any DTC(s) that have not run during the current ignition cycle or have reported a test failure during this ignition up to a maximum of 33 DTCs. DTC test which run and passed will cause that affected DTC to be removed from scan tool sereen. FAIL THIS IGN. This selection will display all DTCs that have failed during the present ignition cycle, HISTORY This selection will display only DTC(s) that are stored in the control module's history memory. It will not type "B" DTCs. It will display all type "A" and type "B" DTCs that have the MIL illuminated and have failed within the last 40 warm-up eyeles. It will also display type "C" DTCs that have failed within the 40 warm-up eycles LAST TEST FAIL This selection will display only DTCs that have failed the last time the test ran, The last fest may have ran during the previous ignition cycle. ifa type "A" or "B" DTC is displayed. For type "C" DTCs, the last failure must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to be displayed as LAST TEST FAIL. MIL REQUEST This selection will display only DTCs that are requesting the MIL. Type "C" DTCs cannot be displayed using this option. This selection will report type "B” DTCs only after the MIL has been requested NOT RIN occ1997 Chevrolet $10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Setf-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series Not Run Since Code Clear option will display up to 33 DTCs that have not run since DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed DTCs have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is unknown. TEST FAIL SCC Test Fail Since Code Clear selection will display all active and history DTCs that have reported a test failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. DTCs that last failed over 40 warm-up cycles before this option is selected will not be displayed. FAILED SINCE CLEAR, This message indicates the DTC has failed at least once within the last 40 warm-up cycles since the last time DTCs were cleared. NOT RUN SINCE CL. Not Run Since Cleared message indicates that the selected diagnostic test has not run since the last time DTCs were cleared. Therefore, the diagnostic test status (passed or failed) is unknown, After DTCs are cleared, this message will continue to be displayed until the diagnostic test runs NOT RUN THIS IGN. Not Run This Ignition message indicates the selected diagnostic test has not run this ignition cycle. TEST RAN AND PASSED This message indicates the selected diagnostic test has: Passed the last test. Ran and passed during this ignition cycle. Ran and passed since DTCs were last cleared, Test has not failed since DTCs were last cleared If this message is displayed, repair is done. If FAILED THIS IGN. message is displayed, repair is incomplete and further diagnosis is required DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE Diagnosis of computerized engine control system should be performed in following order: 1, Ensure all engine systems not related to computer system are operating properly. DO NOT proceed with testing unless all other problems have been repaired. ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK must be performed before using specific DTC testing procedure. See the BASIC TESTING - 431 article. 2. IfDTC(s) were displayed, determine whether codes are hard or intermittent trouble codes. Hard codes will cause MIL to illuminate continuously while engine is running. See HARD OR INTERMITT!1997 Chevrolet $10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Setf-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series TROUBLE CODE DETERMINATION . For diagnosing hard codes, proceed to appropriate DTC test. For diagnosing intermittent codes, proceed to INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, refer to SYMPTOMS in the TESTS W/O CODES article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article 4, After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DIC does not reset. READING TROUBLE CODES NOTE: Use of Tech 4 or 2 scan tool is required to retrieve DTCs. Refer to user reference manuals supplied with scan tool. HARD OR INTERMITTENT TROUBLE CODE DETERMINATION During any diagnostic procedure, determine if DTC(s) are hard failure codes or intermittent failure codes. Diagnostic procedures will not always help analyze intermittent codes. To determine hard codes and intermittent codes: 1. Enter diagnostic mode. Read and record all stored DTCs. Exit diagnostic mode, and clear DTCs. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES DTC 2. Apply parking brake, and place transmission in Neutral or Park. Block drive wheels, and start engine. MIL should go out. Operate warm engine at specified RPM for 2 minutes and note MIL. 3. IfMIL illuminates, enter diagnostic mode, Read and record DTCs. This will reveal hard failure codes. Oxygen sensor related codes may require a road test to reset hard failure after DICs were cleared. 4, IfMIL does not illuminate, all stored DTCs were intermittent failures, except as noted above. NOTE: DTCs will be recorded at various operating times. Some codes require operation of that sensor or switch for 5 seconds; others require operation for 5 minutes or longer at normal operating temperature, vehicle speed and load. Therefore, some DTCs may not set in a service bay operational mode and may require road testing vehicle in order to duplicate conditions under which code will set. CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) To clear DTCs from memory, either to determine if malfunetion will occur again or after making necessary repairs, disconnect power supply to ECM/PCM/VCM for at least 30 seconds or clear codes using a scan tool. ECM/PCM/VCM LOCATION On most models, ECM/PCM/VCM is located behind right or left side of dash, behind right or left kick panel, or on left or right side of engine compartment. For more precise location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS in the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article.1997 Chevrolet $10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Setf-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series DIAGNOSTIC MATERIALS Diagnostic Aids Diagnostic aids are additional tips used to help diagnose trouble codes when inspected circuit is okay. Diagnostic aids may help lead to a definitive solution to trouble code problem. SPECIAL TOOLS (DIAGNOSTIC) NOTE: A scan tool plugged into DLC is used to read DTCs and check voltages in ‘system on serial data line. A scan tool is REQUIRED to retrieve vehicle information. Computerized engine control system is most easily diagnosed using scan tool; however, other tools may aid in diagnosing problems. These tools are a tachometer, test light, ohmmeter, digital voltmeter with a 10-megohm input impedance (minimum), vacuum pump. vacuum gauge, fuel injector test lights and 6 jumper wires 6" long (one wire with female connectors at both ends, one wire with male connectors at both ends and 4 wires with male and female connectors at opposite ends). A test light, rather than a voltmeter, must be used when indicated by a diagnostic test. In addition, special jumper harnesses or testers may be required by manufacturer to facilitate diagnosis. SCAN TOOL USAGE NOTI Before connecting scan tool to vehicle, diagnostic system should be checked to determine if system is operating properly and if information received will be accurate. This is done by performing ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK located in the BASIC TESTING - 4.3L article. If vehicle does not pass OBD system check, information received may be invalid. Scan tool is a specialized tester which, when plugged into DLC, ean be used to diagnose on-board computer control systems by providing instant access to circuit voltage information without need to crawl under dash or hood to backprobe sensors and connectors. Scan tool cuts down diagnostic time dramatically by furnishing input data (voltage signals) which can be compared to specification parameters. See SCAN DATA . They may also furnish information on output device (solenoids and motors) status. However, status parameters only indicate output signals have been sent to devices by PCM/VCM:; they do not indicate whether devices have responded properly to signal. Verify proper response at output device using a voltmeter or test light. A problem may exist even if DTCs are not present. About 80 percent of driveability problems occur without DTCs. Sensors that are out of calibration will not set a DTC but will cause driveability problems. Using a scan tool is the easiest method of checking sensor specifications and other data parameters. Scan tool is also useful in finding intermittent wiring problems by wiggling wiring hamesses and connections (key on, engine off) while observing data parameters. See SCAN DATA.1997 Chevrolet $10 Pickup 1997 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Setf-Diagnostics - 4.3L S/T Series NOTE: If erroneous voltage signals are suspected, verify tester information using a digital voltmeter and wiring schematic. If non-existent codes are displayed, DO NOT use scan tool for diagnosis. Contact tester manufacturer for additional information. SCAN DATA NOTE: For scan data values, refer to scan tool manufacturer owner's manual or compare values with a known good component or vehicle.

For connector and terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . Circuit Description Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). A 5-volt reference is applied to sensor. A variable resistor moves in relation to manifold pressure and a voltage signal is returned to VCM through MAP signal circuit. Voltage signal varies from 1.0-1.5 volts at closed throttle (high vacuum) to 4.0-4.5 volts at wide open throttle (low vacuum). A change in throttle position and engine speed should precede change in MAP. If change does not occur, MAP malfunction is present. VCM utilizes MAP signal and throttle position to determine fuel delivery Conditions for setting DTC are: ‘+ No TP sensor related DT * Engine running ‘« Engine speed changes less than 100 RPM.
