2007/04/25 Engine Pressure Sensor Open or Short Circuit - Test (RENR5096)

SMCS - 1439 i02753699

System Operation Description:

Use this procedure to troubleshoot any suspect problems with the following sensors:

Atmospheric pressure sensor

Boost pressure sensor

Engine oil pressure sensor

Fuel pressure sensor

This procedure covers the following open circuit diagnostic codes and short circuit diagnostic codes:

94-03 Fuel Pressure open/short to +batt

94-04 Fuel Pressure short to ground

100-03 Engine Oil Pressure open/short to +batt

100-04 Engine Oil Pressure short to ground

102-03 Boost Pressure Sensor open/short to +batt

102-04 Boost Pressure Sensor short to ground

274-03 Atmospheric Pressure open/short to +batt

274-04 Atmospheric Pressure short to ground

The 5 volt sensor supply provides power to all 5 volt sensors. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) supplies 5.0 ± 0.2 VDC to terminal 1 of each
sensor connector. The sensor return from the ECM connector goes to terminal 2 of each sensor connector. The sensor supply is output short circuit
protected. A short circuit to the battery will not damage the circuit inside the ECM.

Pull-up Voltage

The ECM continuously outputs a pull-up voltage on the circuit for the sensor signal wire. The ECM uses this pull-up voltage in order to detect a
problem in the signal circuit. When the ECM detects the presence of a voltage that is above a threshold on the signal circuit, the ECM will generate
a 03 diagnostic code for the sensor.

If the sensor is disconnected at the sensor connector, the presence of pull-up voltage at the sensor connector indicates that the wires from the
sensor connector to the ECM are OK. If the sensor is disconnected at the sensor connector, the absence of pull-up voltage at the sensor connector
indicates a problem in the signal wire. If the sensor is disconnected at the sensor connector and the voltage at the sensor connector is different
from pull-up voltage, the signal wire may be shorted to another wire in the harness.
