DTC Troubleshooting (cont'dl
DTC P0500: VSS Circuit Malfunction
1. Test-drive the vehicle.
2. Check the vehicle speed with the scan tool.
ls the correct speed indicated?
YES-lntermiftent failure, system is OK at this time.
Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the VSS and at the ECM.I
NO Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Block the rear wheels, and set the parking brake.
5. Raise the front ofthe vehicle, and make sure it is
securely supported,
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Block the right front wheel, and slowly rotate the
left front wheel.
8. Measure voltage between ECM connector
terminals A18 and A24.
ECM CONNECTOR A {31P)
Wire side of female terminals
Does the voltage pulse between 0 V and 5 V or
between 0V and battery voltage?
YES-Update the ECM if it does not have the latest
software, or substitute a known-good ECM. then
recheck (see page 1 1-6). lf the symptom/indication
goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the
original ECN4.l
NO Go to step 9.

12. Blockthe right front wheel. and slowly rotate the
left front wheel.
'!3. lMeasure voltage between ECM connector
terminals A18 and A24.
ECM CONNECTOR A I31PI
Wire side of female terminals
Does the voltage pulse between 0 V and 5 V ol
between 0V and battety voltage?
YES Update the ECM if it does not have the latest
software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then
recheck (see page 1 1-6). lf the symptom/indication
goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the
origlnal ECM.I
NO Check these items:
. A short or an open in the wire between the ECM
(A18) and the VSS.I. lf thewire is OK,testtheVSS (see page 22 71).1

15. Check for continuity between body ground and
ECIM connector terminal 813.
ECM CONNECTOR B I24P}
Wire side of female terminals
ls there continuity?
YES Repair short in the wire between the ECM
(813) and the alternator.l
NO Update the ECM if it does not have the latest
software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then
recheck lsee page 1 1-6). lf the symptom/indication
goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the

Fuel Pressure Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel lines or hoses, relieve
pressure from the system by disconnecting the fuel
tube/quick connect fitting in the engine compartment.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF,
2. Remove the PGM-Fl main relay 2 (A).
Startthe engine, and let it idle until it is stalls.
NOTE: The DTCS or Temporary DTCS P0301. P0302,
P0303, P0304 may come on during this procedure.
lf any DTCS are stored, ignore them.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Remove the fuel fill cap, and relieve fuel pressure
in the fueltank.
Remove the engine cover.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Check the fuel quick-connect fitting for dirt, and
clean it if necessary.

9. Place a rag or shop towel over the quick-connect
fitting (A).
Disconnect the quick-connect fifting (A): Hold the
connector (B) with one hand and squeeze the
retainer tabs (C) with the other hand to release
them from the locking pawls {D). Pullthe connector
off.
NOTE:. Prevent the remaining fuel in the fuel feedlineor
hose from flowing out with a rag or shop towel.. Be careful notto damage the line (E) or other
pa rts.. Do not use tools.. lf theconnectordoes not move, keepthe retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.. Do not remove the retainer from the line; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
After disconnecting the quick-connect fifting, check
it for dirt or damage (see page 1 1-149).

Fuel Line Inspection
Check the fuel system lines, hoses, and fuel filter for damage, leaks, and deterioration. Replace any damaged parts.
Make sure the connection issecure and the quick-connectfitting cover is firmly locked into place.

Fuel Line/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings Removal
1. Relieve fuel pressure (see page 1'l-144).
Check the fuel quick-connect fiftings for din, and
clean if necessary.
Hold the connector (A) with one hand and squeeze
the retainertabs (B)with the other hand to release
them from the locking paws (C). Pull the connector
off.
NOTE:. Be careful not to damage the line iD) or other
parts. Do not use tools.. lf the connectordoes not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.. Do not remove the retainer from the line; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
4. C heck the contact a rea (A) of the line (B)for dirt and
da mage.
. lf the surface is dirty, clean it.. if the surface is rusty or damaged, replace the
fuel pump, fuelfilter, fuelfeed line.
=k
To prevent damaged and keep foreign matter out,
cover the disconnected connector and line end with
plastic bags (A).
NOTE:. The retainer cannot be reused once it has been
removed from the line.
Replaced the retainer when- replacing the fuel rail.- replacing the fuel feed Iine.
- replacing the fuel pumP.
- replacing the fuel filter.- replacing the fuel gauge sending unit
- it has been removed from the line.
- it is damaged.

4. Align the quick-connect fittings with the line (A).
and align the retainer (B) locking pawls with the
connector {C) grooves. Then press the quick-
connect fittings onto the line until both retainer
pawls lock with a clicking sound.
NOTE; lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount of
new engine oil on the line end.
Connection with new retainer:
Reconnection to existing retainer:
5. lvlake sure the connection is secure and that the
pawls are firmly locked into place; check visually
and by pulling the connector.
6. Reconnectthe negative cable to the battery, and
turn the ignition switch ON (ll). The fuel pump will
run for about 2 seconds, and fuel pressure will rise
Repeat 2 or 3 times, and check that there are no
fuel leaks.

Install in the reverse order of removalwith a new
base gasket (B) and a new o-ring (C), then check
these items:
' When connecting the wire harness, make sure
the connection is secure and the terminal (D) is
firmly locked into place.. When installing the fuel gauge sending unit iE),make sure the connection is secure and the
