Services Performed
- Diagnostic Steps; Step 1. Started the vehicle. Noticed on start up the vehicle has an extended crank time. Verified the customers concern. Step 2. Scanned the vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes. Found powertrain control module current codes P2111, P2153, P0642, P2122, P2167, P2166, P2115, P0520, P0335, and pending code P06DA. Step 3. The current fault codes are related to the powertrain control module 5 volt reference circuit to the throttle body, crankshaft position sensor, engine oil pressure sensor, A/C pressure sensor, and accelerator pedal position sensor. Step 4. Checked the 5 volt reference at the powertrain control module. Found the circuit that feeds the throttle, crankshaft position sensor, and engine oil pressure sensor has a short to ground. Step 5. Disconnected the throttle and the crankshaft position sensor. Found the short circuit is still present. Step 6. Upon further inspection found the problem is located at the engine oil pressure sensor. Correction – Recommend removal of intake manifolds to further isolate the concern.
- Performed a visual Inspection and prepared an estimate for parts and labor.
- Removed upper and lower intake manifolds to access the engine oil pressure switch. Found the oil pressure switch harness insulation has deteriorated due to oil contamination and is shorting out. Recommend replacement of the sub harness. After customers approval removed and replaced sub harness to the knock sensors, oil pressure sensor, and oil temperature sensor. Cleared fault codes and performed throttle system relearn. Started the vehicle. The vehicle now starts and runs normally. Rechecked for fault codes. Found code P06DA (Engine oil pressure control circuit) is now a current fault code and is causing the check engine light to stay on. Recommend further diagnosis.
- HazMat EPA #CAL000339001
