Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) uses the following information in order to calculate an expected airflow rate:

    • The throttle position (TP)
    • The barometric pressure (BARO)
    • The intake air temperature (IAT)
    • The engine RPM

If the ECM detects the airflow rate is more than expected, DTC P1514 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • DTCs P0122, P0123, P1120, P1220, P1635, P1639 are not set.
    • The engine is running and the engine speed is more than 600 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the calculated airflow rate is more than expected.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records.
    • The control module commands the TAC system to operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode.
    • A message center or an indicator displays Reduced Engine Power.
    • Under certain conditions the control module commands the engine OFF.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The PCM will turn OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has run and passed.
    • The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
    • The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step will determine if the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor voltage is within the proper range at idle.

    2.

  2. This step will determine if the MAP sensor responds properly to the change in manifold pressure.

    3.

  3. A throttle blade that sticks or binds may set this code. Opening the throttle will indicate problems such as these.

    4.

  4. When the ECM detects a condition within the ETC system, other DTCs may set due to the many redundant tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing one individual condition may correct more than one DTC. Keep this in mind when reviewing captured DTC info.

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls?

--

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls

2

Are DTCs P1635 or P1639 also set?

--

Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List

Go to Step 3

3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition.

    3. Important: If the engine cranks but does not start, go to Step 5.

  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.

Did the DTC fail this ignition?

Go to Step 4

Go to Intermittent Conditions

4

Inspect for the following conditions:

    • Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper connections as shown on Vehicle Emission Control Information label--Inspect thoroughly for any type of leak or restriction.
    • Air leaks at throttle body mounting area and intake manifold sealing surfaces

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 5

5

Observe the MAP sensor voltage parameter with a scan tool.

Is the MAP sensor voltage within the specified range?

0.8-4 V

Go to Step 6

Go to DTC P0105

6

  1. Idle the engine.
  2. Observe the MAP sensor kPa parameter with a scan tool.
  3. Increase the engine speed slowly, and then back to idle.

Does the MAP sensor kPa change smoothly and gradually as the engine speed is increased and returned to idle?

--

Go to Step 7

Go to DTC P0105

    Caution: Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.

  1. Inspect the throttle body for the following conditions while modulating the throttle using the scan tool:
    2. • Loose or damaged throttle blade
    • Broken throttle shaft
    • Drive mechanism damage
  2. If any of these conditions exist, replace the throttle body assembly. Refer to Throttle Body Assembly Replacement .

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 90 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.

Did the DTC fail this ignition?
