CM2150 Electronic Control System – 019-401   OEM Pressure Sensor Circuit

Initial Check

TOC

Disconnect the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) pressure sensor connector from the OEM harness. Disconnect the OEM harness connector from the electronic control module (ECM).

Check the OEM pressure sensor connector and OEM harness connectors for broken, bare, or melted wires; loose, dirty, damaged, or missing pins; and other visible signs of damage.

Resistance Check

TOC

 CAUTION 

The leads must fit tightly in the connector without expanding the pins in the connector otherwise the connector will be damaged.

Disconnect the OEM harness connector from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM pressure sensor from the OEM harness. Set the multimeter to measure resistance.

Insert a test lead into the OEM pressure sensor signal pin of the OEM harness connector. Connect the alligator clip to a multimeter probe. Insert the second test lead to the signal pin of the OEM pressure sensor harness connector and connect the clip to the other multimeter probe. Measure the resistance.

The multimeter
must show a measurement of 10 ohms or less (closed circuit).

If the measured value is more than 10 ohms, there is an open circuit in the signal wire.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

Repeat the resistance check for the return wire. Measure the resistance from the OEM pressure sensor return pin of the OEM harness connector to the OEM pressure sensor return pin of the harness connector.

The multimeter
must show a measurement of 10 ohms or less (closed circuit).

If the measured value is more than 10 ohms, there is an open circuit in the return wire.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

Repeat the resistance check for the 5 volt supply wire. Measure the resistance from the OEM pressure sensor 5 volt supply pin of the OEM harness connector to the OEM pressure sensor 5 volt supply pin of the harness connector.

The multimeter
must show a measurement of 10 ohms or less (closed circuit).

If the measured value is more than 10 ohms, there is an open circuit in the 5 volt supply wire.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

Check for Short Circuit to Ground

TOC

Disconnect the OEM harness connector from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM pressure sensor from the OEM harness. Set the multimeter to measure resistance.

Insert the test lead into the OEM pressure sensor signal pin of the OEM harness connector. Touch the other multimeter probe to engine block ground. Measure the resistance.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


The multimeter
must show a measurement of 100k ohms or more (open circuit).

If the measured value is less than 100k ohms, there is a short circuit to ground in the signal wire.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Repeat the short-to-ground check for the return wire. Measure the resistance from the OEM pressure sensor return pin of the OEM harness connector to engine block ground.

The multimeter
must show a measurement of 100k ohms or more (open circuit).

If the measured value is less than 100k ohms, there is a short circuit to ground in the return wire.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

Repeat the short-to-ground check for the 5 volt supply wire. Measure the resistance from the OEM pressure sensor 5 volt supply pin of the OEM harness connector to engine block ground.

The multimeter
must show a measurement of 100k ohms or more (open circuit).

If the measured value is less than 100k ohms, there is a short circuit to ground in the 5 volt supply wire.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

Check for Short Circuit from Pin to Pin

TOC

Disconnect the OEM harness connector from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM pressure sensor from the OEM harness. Set the multimeter to measure resistance.

Measure the resistance from the OEM pressure sensor signal pin in the OEM harness connector to all other pins in the connector.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


The multimeter
must show a measurement of 100k ohms or more (open circuit).

If the measured value is less than 100k ohms, there is a short circuit between the signal wire and any other pin that measured a closed circuit.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

Check for Short Circuit to External Voltage Source

TOC

Disconnect the OEM harness connector from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM pressure sensor from the OEM harness. Set the multimeter to measure VDC. Turn the vehicle keyswitch to the ON position.

Insert the test lead connected to the positive (+) multimeter probe into the OEM pressure sensor signal pin of the OEM harness connector. Touch the negative (-) multimeter probe to engine block ground and measure the voltage.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


If there is voltage present, there is a short circuit from the signal wire to an external voltage source.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Repeat the short to external voltage source check for the return wire. Measure the voltage from the OEM pressure sensor return pin of the OEM harness connector to engine block ground.

If there is voltage present, there is a short circuit from the return wire to an external voltage source.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Repeat the short to external voltage source check for the 5 volt supply wire. Measure the voltage from the OEM pressure sensor 5 volt supply pin of the OEM harness connector to engine block ground.

The multimeter
must show a voltage of less than 5.5 VDC. If the voltage is greater than 5.5 VDC, there is a short circuit from the 5 volt supply wire to an external voltage source.

Repair or replace the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure
019-071.
