Shop Talk

Possible causes for this fault code include electromagnetic induction or radio noise (citizens band radio or linear amplifier), supply wire short to chassis ground, electromagnetic induction from control devices on the circuit, supply wire is on (also connectors), electromagnetic induction because of poor or no ECM grounding, return wire short to chassis ground, datalink wires (+, -) shorted together, reversed wires, supply wire is shorted to other wires, improper voltage on the datalink wires, and moisture is in the sensor port shorting circuit.

Cautions and Warnings


 CAUTION 

To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following test leads when taking measurement:
Part Number 3822758 – male AMP test lead
Part Number 3822917 – female AMP test lead
