Topics to Be Discussed
• Where to start diagnosis?• Why following a procedure rather than just
performing tests works best• How to look at scan tool data (PIDs) in a
sequence order to reduce diagnostic time.• How to use fuel trim to diagnosis fuel
delivery problems.• Many case studies as examples
![Page 4: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Where do you start?
• Step #1; Verify-If you can not verify the customer concern, you can not verify the repair
• This is hard for some customers to understand. “ Don’t you believe me?”
• Have the owner drive is instead of the technician
• Is the troubleshooting procedure explained to the customer?
![Page 5: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Step #2
• Visual inspection
• An older technician once told me that “the vehicle will tell you what is needed”
• True?

Verified Ignition Timing
![Page 10: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Checked the Valve Clearance
![Page 11: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Checked Injectors
![Page 12: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tachometer fluctuated when running
• What can cause that to happen?• Bad coil?• Poor connections on coil?• Bad ignition control module?• Bad tachometer?• Poor ground?
![Page 13: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Grounded Cylinder Head
![Page 14: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ran OK with the Jumpers
![Page 15: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Turbo Ford Story Conclusion
• Cylinder head was not properly grounded to the block
• Sealant was used on the head bolt threads• The ground from the battery was connected to the
block; not the head• Spark plugs need to be properly grounded• Poor ground caused feedback to the tachometer
![Page 16: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step #3• Check for diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs)• Could be performed before
step #2• Check for pending codes
too• Check that all monitors have
run• Could there be a driveability
problem without a DTC? yes
![Page 17: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MonitorsContinuous: Misfire, Fuel System, and ComprehensiveNon-Continuous: Evap., EGR, O2 Sensors, O2 Sensor Heaters, Catalyst, HeatedCatalyst, A/C System, Secondary Air, and Warm-upsNOTE:In emission areas, a specific number of monitors need to be “complete” or “ready” in order to perform an emissions test.
![Page 18: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Monitors vs. DTCs
• If a monitor cannot run, then a DTC cannot be set
• Always check to see if the all of the monitors have run and passed
• Some require certain temperatures
![Page 19: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step #4
• Check for any technical service bulletins (TSBs)
• Why not use the resources of many before you?
• I would also suggest using www.iatn.net
• Identifix
![Page 20: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step #5
• Check scan tool data• Look at the “high
authority” sensor information
![Page 21: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step #6
• Narrow the problem to a cylinder or system• The systems could be the fuel, ignition or
emission control system• The cylinder could be just one cylinder or a
bank of cylinders
![Page 22: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Step #7
• Find the root cause• The root cause may not be obvious but has to
be found and repaired to prevent a comeback
![Page 23: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Step #8
• Verify the repair • Use the same conditions used to verify the
problem to verify the repair• Clear DTCs (not if going to an emission
test????)• Write the story on the work order• The three Cs (Complaint, Cause and
Correction)
![Page 24: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dash Warning Light On?
• Check Engine• Check Engine Soon• Maintenance Required• Service Vehicle Soon• Passenger Air Bag• Trac

No-Code Diagnosis
• Many times are tough to locate
• Keep the basics in mind
• The primary purpose of OBDII is emissions-not driveability!
![Page 31: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2004 Prius Case Study
• Poor fuel economy (25 mpg instead of normal 40+)
• No codes• Scan data (PIDs) looked
normal • Found right front disc
brake caliper stuck.• No drop in performance
noticed by the driver
![Page 32: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Rough Idle; Surge; No Codes

Base line for Sensor Values(Except as mentioned)
• Normal operating temperature (cooling fans cycled twice)
• Idle (closed throttle)• All accessories off• In Park or Neutral• Closed loop
![Page 38: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Skewed Sensors
• A skewed sensor gives variable readings that appears to be accurate
• However the sensor may be contaminated or dirty and sending incorrect information to the PCM
• Does the PCM know the sensor is skewed?
![Page 39: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Data Stream Step #1• Before starting the
engine, connect the scan tool.
• This step is very important, especially if the driveability concern is hard starting or cold driveability.
![Page 40: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Data Stream Step #1 (continued)
• Key on/Engine off (KOEO) and look at the values for ECT (engine coolant temperature) and IAT (intake air temperature).
• Basically, the same sensor and the two temperatures should agree.
![Page 41: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
ECT = IAT• The two temperatures
should be the same (within 5 degrees).
• Both should measure the ambient air temperature.
• If the two indicate different temperatures, the one closer to the ambient air temperature is the one most likely to be correct.
![Page 42: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
ECT = IAT (continued)• The ECT sensor has a
higher authority than the IAT and is therefore more likely to be the cause of a starting or cold running problem.
• The ECT is the only sensor used by the PCM when the ignition key is first turned from on to start.
![Page 43: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Quick and Easy Metric Temperature Conversion
• Double the Celsius degree number• Add 25• Should be close to the Fahrenheit
temperature• Example: 50 degrees X 2= 100+25=125• Actual= 122
![Page 44: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
![Page 45: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Data Stream Step #2MAP= BARO
• Another sensor to check is the MAP sensor because it is a high-authority sensor, especially on speed density controlled engines.
• The MAP reading at KOEO should be atmospheric pressure (about 29.50 in. Hg.), depending on altitude and weather conditions.
• An easier value to remember is that it should be about
4.6-4.8 volts
![Page 46: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
MAP Sensor Authority
• The MAP sensor is a high-authority sensor on an engine that uses the Speed-Density method of fuel control.
• If the exhaust is rich, try disconnecting the MAP sensor.
• If the engine now runs OK, then the MAP sensor is skewed or giving the PCM wrong information.
![Page 47: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
MAP Too High or Too Low
• The sensor could be skewed.
• Check the power and ground of the sensor.
• If 5-volt reference (Vref) is low, check other sensors that also use the reference voltage.
![Page 48: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Data Stream Step #3IAC Counts
• After the engine starts, observe the IAC counts or percentage.
• The IAC is used to control idle speed by changing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate (just like depressing or releasing the throttle pedal).
![Page 49: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
IAC (continued)• On a warm engine (cooling fans cycled twice),
the IAC counts should be 15-25 counts or percentage.
• If the IAC commanded position is low, a vacuum leak (speed density engines mostly) could be indicated.
• The extra air decreases the vacuum and the MAP sensor reads this drop as an increase in load. The PCM adds fuel, increasing the engine speed.
![Page 50: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
IAC Too High
• If the IAC position is higher than normal. This could indicate a dirty throttle plate(s) or a vacuum leak on a MAF engine.
![Page 51: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Data Stream Step #4MAF Sensor
• Look at the amount of air entering the engine.
• There should be:– 3 to 7 grams per second (g/s)– About 1 volt (analog MAF sensor)– About 0.5 lb. per hour– About 13-19 kilograms per hour (kg./hr)
![Page 52: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Normal MAF Readings
• Use a scan tool to look at the grams per second.
• Warm the engine at idle speed with all accessories off. Should read 3 to 7 grams per second.
• GM 3800 V-6 should read 2.37 to 2.52 KHz.
• If not within this range, check for false air or contamination of the sensor wire.
![Page 53: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
MAF Sensor Diagnosis• If the MAF sensor wire were to become
coated, it cannot measure all of the incoming air.
• A normal warm engine at idle should be 3 to 7 grams per second.
• Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT. It should read over: – 100 grams per second (scan tool) or– higher than 7 kHz (digital MAF sensor)– 4 volts (analog MAF sensor)
![Page 54: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Visual Inspection
• Look for a very dirty filter.
• Look for a K & N filter that has been over-oiled.
• Look for fuzz on the sensing wire from fibers coming off of the filter paper.
![Page 55: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Fuzzy MAF
![Page 56: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Mass Air Flow (MAF)-False Air
Usually affects operation in drive; may run OK if driving in reverse.
![Page 57: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
MAF Sensor Authority
• High-authority sensor• If in doubt - Take it Out!• If the MAF sensor is disconnected, the
PCM substitutes a backup value.• If the engine runs OK with the MAF
disconnected, then the MAF has been supplying incorrect information.
![Page 58: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Data Stream Step #7Fuel Trim
• Short-term fuel trim (STFT) is used by the PCM to correct for exhaust readings that are slightly rich or slightly lean.
• STFT can add or subtract fuel quickly.
• STFT can add or subtract only a limited amount of fuel.
![Page 59: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Long Term Fuel Trim
• Long-term fuel trim (LTFT) can add or subtract more fuel than STFT.
• LTFT is slower than STFT.
• The purpose of LTFT is to keep STFT within plus or minus 10%.
![Page 60: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
LTFT and STFT Diagnosis
• I suggest that you ignore STFT.• STFT is what is happening this instant.• LTFT gives a history of the exhaust
mixture and is more helpful when it comes to a diagnosis.
• Add the two together to get total amount of added or subtracted fuel.
• LTFT = +8%, STFT = -3%, total = +5%.
![Page 61: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
+LTFT Too High
• Look for a vacuum leak.
• Look for a cracked exhaust manifold.
![Page 62: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
-LTFT Too High
• Check for too high fuel pressure.
• Check for a leaking fuel pressure regulator.
![Page 63: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Fuel Trim Example
• LTFT = +12%
• STFT= +2%
• How is the engine running now?
![Page 64: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Fuel Trim Example
• Answer:– The engine is operating normally now
because the PCM has compensated for a slightly lean air-fuel mixture by increasing the injector pulse-width by about 14%.
– Look for a vacuum leak or low fuel pressure.
![Page 65: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Pin Down to a System or Cylinder
• Compression Test• Cylinder Leakage Test• Running (Dynamic) or
Relative Compression Test
![Page 66: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Pontiac Grand Prix Case Study (1997 3100 V-6)
• Misfiring at idle on cylinders one, three, and five only
• No DTCs
• When first started, I noticed slow, jerky cranking even with the ignition disconnected (this was not a customer concern).
• What would you do first?
![Page 67: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Visual inspection discovered a corroded cable
![Page 68: No-Code Diagnosis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816398550346895dd490e8/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Injector inspection showed that the wiring for the front and rear banks were switched.

Final Result
• Replacing the injector O-rings solved the misfire on cylinders 1, 3, and 5.
• Switching the injector harness back to the correct bank of the injectors solved the slow, jerky cranking

What I Learned
• I learned to use the misfire counter whenever working on a possible engine misfire
• The misfire counters picked up misfires that could not be detected otherwise.

Fuel Delivery System CheckTest Drive Analysis
• Low power complaint– Drive will consist of WOT. – Please check the oil level first!– Watch MAP and O2 sensor reaction.

Must maintain at least 850mV

Test Drive Analysis
• If MAP does not go high (4.6-4.8 volts); there is an intake restriction.
• Look for clogged air passages.
• If O2S voltage goes low; the fuel system is likely going lean.
• Look for a weak pump or a clogged fuel filter.
