Description:
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 32
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULA TION(EGR) CIRCUIT
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve operation is Engine Control Module (ECM) controlled. The ECM will ground
the vacuum switch
valve (VSV) to turn the EGR valve "ON" and "OFF". An EGR Back Pressure Transducer
determines how
long the EGR valve stays "ON" based on Exhaust Back Pressure supplied to the Transducer thru
Tube
"S". The ECM monitors the Integrator to determine it the EGR system is functioning. The ECM will command
the
EGR valve "OFF" briefly when the EGR is suppose to be "ON", the Integrator will change at leastthree (3) counts
indicating the
EGR valve did "close" when commanded. The ECM will then recheck the system again by
commanding
EGR valve "ON" when it should not be "ON" and again monitors the Integrator for at least a three (3)
counts change indicating the EGR valve did come "ON" when commanded. If the EGR system fails this test five (5)
times a malfunction diagnostic trouble code 32 will be logged and the malfunction indicator lamp will be "ON".

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR CIRCUIT
(SIGNAL
VOLTAGE HIGH-LOW VACUUM)
Circuit Description:
The Manifold Absolute Pressure {MAP) Sensor responds to changes in manifold pressure (vacuum). The Engine
Control Module (ECM) receives this information as a signal voltage that will vary from about 1 to 1.5 volts, at closed
throttle idle, to 4-4.5 volts at
wide open throttle (low vacuum).
If the MAP sensor fails, the ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value based on Throttle Position Sensor to control fuel
delivery.
Test Description:
Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.
CD This step will determine if Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 33 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent
condition.
A
DTC 33 will set if:
• MAP signal indicates greater than 95 kPa (low vacuum).
• Throttle position sensor less than 2%.
• No DTC 21 A or DTC 21 B is set.
• These conditions are present for a time longer than 5.3 seconds.
® This step simulates conditions for a DTC 338. If the ECM recognizes the change, the ECM, and BLU/ORG and
GRY /RED wires are OK. If GRY wire is open, there may also be a DTC 23 stored.
Diagnostic Aids:
With the Ignition "ON" and the engine stopped, the manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and the
signal voltage
will be high. This information is used by the ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude and is referred ~
to as barometric pressure. Comparison of this barometric pressure reading with a known good vehicle with the
same sensor is a good
way to check accuracy of a "suspect" sensor. Readings should be the same ±0.4 volt.
A
DTC 33A will result if GRY /Wire is open, or if GRY /RED is shorted to voltage or to BLU/ORG wire.
If DTC 33A is intermittent, refer to Section "6E2-B".

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR CIRCUIT
(SIGNAL
VOLTAGE LOW-HIGH VACUUM)
Circuit Description:
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor responds to changes in manifold pressure (vacuum). The Engine
Control Module (ECM) receives this information as a signal voltage that will vary from about 0.45 to 0.85 volts, at
closed throttle idle, to 3.8-4.5 volts at Wide Open Throttle (low vacuum).
If the MAP sensor fails, the ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value based on Throttle Position Sensor to control fuel
delivery.
Test Description:
Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.
CD This step will determine if Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 338 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent
condition.
A
DTC 338 will set if:
• Engine speed is greater than 1100 revolution per minute.
• Throttle position sensor is greater than 20%.
•
MAP signal indicates less then 10.7 kPa.
• These conditions are present for a time longer than 0.125 seconds.
• No DTC 21 A or DTC 21 8 is set.
® Jumpering harness terminals "8" to "C", 5 volt to signal, will determine if the sensor is at fault, or if there is a
problem with ECM or wiring.
® The "Scan tool" may not display 12 volts. The important thing is that the ECM recognizes the voltage as more
than 4
volts, indicating that the ECM and GAY /RED wire are OK.
Diagnostic Aids:
With the Ignition "ON" and the engine stopped, the manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and the
signal voltage will be high. This information is used by the ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude and is referred
to as barometric pressure. Comparison of this barometric pressure reading with a known good vehicle with the
same sensor is a good
way to check accuracy of a "suspect" sensor. Readings should be the same ±0.4 volt.
A DTC 338 will result if GAY /Wire is open, or if GAY /RED is shorted to voltage or to 8LUIORG wire.
If DTC 338 is intermittent, refer to Section "6E2-8".

6E2-80 DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS
Circuit Description:
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 42
IGNITION CONTROL (IC) CIRCUIT
The Electronic Ignition (EI) module sends a reference signal (YEL/RED wire) to the Engine Control Module (ECM),
when the engine is cranking. While the engine speed is under 500 revolution per minute, the ignition control (IC)
module will control ignition timing. When the engine speed exceeds 500 revolution per minute, the ECM applies 5
volts to the bypass line to switch the timing to ECM control.
When the system is running on the El module, that is, no voltage on the bypass line, the El module grounds the IC
signal. The ECM expects to sense or detect no voltage on the IC line during this condition. If it senses or detects a
voltage,
it sets Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 42 and will not go into the IC mode.
When the revolution per minute
for IC is reached (about 500 revolution per minute), voltage will be applied to the
bypass
line. The IC should no longer be grounded in the El module, so the IC voltage should be varying.
If the bypass line is open or grounded, the El module will not switch to IC mode, so the IC voltage will be low and
DTC 42 will be set.
If the IC line is grounded, the El module will switch to IC but, because the line is grounded, there will be no IC signal.
A DTC 42 will be set.
Test Description: Number(s) below refer to circled
number(s) on the diagnostic chart.
CD DTC 42 means the ECM has detected an open or
short to ground in the IC or bypass circuits. This
test confirms
DTC 42 and that the fault causing the
DTC is present.
® Checks for a normaiiC ground path through the IC
module. An IC circuit wire, shorted to ground, will
also
read less than 500 ohms, however, this will
be checked later.
® As the test light voltage touches bypass circuit
wire, the
module should switch, causing the ohmmeter
to "over-range" if the
meter is in the
1000-2000 ohms position. Selecting the 10-20,000
ohms position will indicate above 5000 ohms. The
important thing is that the module
"switched."
® The module did not switch and this step checks
for:
• IC circuit wire shorted to ground.
• Bypass circuit wire open.
• Faulty IC module connection or module.
@ Confirms that DTC 42 is a faulty ECM and not an
intermittent in circuit wire or bypass circuit wire.
