The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
The PCM may inhibit Tech 2 control of EGR, EVAP, and Camshaft Actuator Solenoids if any of the following DTCS are stored: P0400, P0401, P0403, P0404, P0440, P0441, P0442, P0446, P0455, P0456, P1346, or P1349.
Recommendation/Instructions:
If this condition is encountered and the diagnostics lead to PCM replacement, clear all of the DTCs, and perform the diagnostics again because the PCM may be inhibiting solenoid control as a result of the DTCs.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
