Before Using This Section
| Before using this
section, you should have performed the On-Board Diagnostic System Check
and determined that:
- The control module and the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) are
operating correctly.
- There are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored, or a DTC
exists but without an MIL.
Several of the following symptom procedures call for a careful visual
and physical check. The visual and physical checks are very important. The
checks can lead to correcting a problem without further checks which
may save valuable time.

Visual and Physical Checks
|
| • | Check the control module grounds for being clean, tight and in
their proper location. |
| • | Check the vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and proper connections,
as shown on the vehicle emission control information label. |
| • | Thoroughly check the mounting areas of the intake manifold sealing
surfaces for any type of leak or restriction. |
| • | Check the wiring for the following items: |
| • | The following symptom tables contain groups of possible causes
for each symptom. The order of these procedures is not important. If the scan
tool readings do not indicate the problems, then proceed in a logical
order, easiest to check or most likely to cause first. In order to determine
if a specific vehicle is using a particular system or component, refer
to or an application. |
