Signal Too High. Intermittent Fault
Checking Cables And Terminals
- Check accelerometer and engine control module (ECM) connectors for loose connections, contact resistance and oxidation.
- Check the cable between accelerometer terminal 1 and engine control module # B1 for an intermittent open-circuit.
- Check cable between accelerometer terminal 2 and engine control module # B28 for an intermittent open-circuit.
- Check cable between accelerometer terminal 3 and engine control module # B32 for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage and an intermittent open-circuit.
- The accelerometer power cable is connected to the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor power cable inside the engine control module. In cars with-out an air conditioning pressure sensor the wiring is pre-routed. It should always be checked.
- Check cables between: Accelerometer terminal 1 and engine control module # B1, Air conditioning pressure sensor terminal 3 and engine control module # B29 for an intermittent short-circuit to ground and an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage.
- Proceed to: Fault-tracing Information section below.
Fault-tracing Information
For intermittent faults fault-tracing is not followed by a verification because the fault is not present at this moment.
- Do you want to repeat fault-tracing?
Yes:
^ Proceed to: Checking Cables And Terminals section above.
No:
^ Operation done.
