GENERAL
Here is the basic order suggested to diagnose a
suspected engine management or fuel injection
related problem.
– Check the chart in TROUBLESHOOTING sec-
tion to have an overview of problems and sug-
gested solutions.
– Check if there is a message displayed by the
vehicle information center. If so, use the VCK
(Vehicle Communication Kit) and look for fault
codes to diagnose the trouble.
NOTE: Fault codes, the letter P — followed by 4
digits (P-1234), can be displayed in the informa-
tion center for troubleshooting. With safety lan- F18L09C 1

TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) Faults

Faults which are reported in B.U.D.S. fall into two groups: TPS faults and adaptation faults. These are
displayed on the B.U.D.S. system as TPS OUT OF RANGE and TPS ADAPTATION FAILURE.
TPS “OUT OF RANGE” Fault
It is caused by the sensor reading going out of its allowable range. This fault can occur during the whole
range of movement of the throttle.
To diagnose this fully, it is recommended to operate the throttle through its full range. It is also recom-
mended to release the throttle quickly as this may also show up a fault that is intermittent.
POSSIBLE CAUSES ACTION

Check if connector is disconnected from TPS. • Fix.
Check if sensor is loose. • Fix and reset Closed Throttle and Idle Actuator.
Inspect sensor for damage or corrosion. • Replace and reset Closed Throttle and Idle Actuator.
Inspect wiring (voltage test). • Repair.
Inspect wiring and sensor (resistance test). • If bad wiring, repair.
• If bad TPS, replace and reset Closed Throttle and Idle

Actuator.
Test sensor operation (wear test). • Replace and reset Closed Throttle and Idle Actuator.
TPS “ADAPTATION FAILURE” Fault

It is caused by the idle position moving out of an acceptable range.
Following failures can be effected by a TPS “Adaptation Failure”:
– Idle speed is out of range.
– Engine stops, when throttle is released quickly.
– Engine runs inconsistent in low partload or low RPM.
POSSIBLE CAUSES ACTION

Supplemental Information for

Some Specific Faults
Communication link fault code 1681: Some-
times the information center does not synchronize
fast enough for the MPEM. That brings this fault
code. Simply clear the fault and try again.
ECM fault codes P0601, P0602, P0604 and P605:
These codes may occur in the following situations:
– Electrical noise is picked up by the ECM. En-
sure that all connections are in good condition,
also grounds (battery, ECM, engine and igni-
tion system), they are clean and well tightened
and that all electronic components are genuine
-- particularly in the ignition system. Installing
resistive caps, non-resistive spark plugs or im-
proper knock sensor wiring/routing may lead to
generate this fault code.
– Electrical noise might also lead engine to oc-
casional cutout without generating a fault code
when engine is restarted. When looking at the
fault code, pay attention to the “count” value in
the software B.U.D.S. A value between 1 and
9 confirms an electrical noise problem. A value
of 10 and above will generate a fault code.
– When installing a new ECM. It is not properly
programmed from the factory. The ECM must
be returned to be properly “activated”.
– If everything is in good condition, try a new
ECM.
Fault code P1202: See detailed information un-
der OSPS in subsection COMPONENT INSPEC-
TION, REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT.
