P0447 EVAP Vent Solenoid Circuit Open
060RY00398
Circuit Description
The canister purge solenoid valve is controlled by the
Power Train Control Module (PCM).The PCM monitors
vacuum level via the fuel tank pressure sensor input.
At an appropriate time, the EVAP canister vent solenoid is
ªON,º allowing engine vacuum to draw a small vacuum on
the entire evaporative emissions system.
Conditions for setting the DTC
The Ignition is ªONº.
Engine is running.
System voltage is between 11.5 volts and 16 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set in the Failure Records data only.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0447 will clear after 40 consecutive trip
cycles during which the warm up cycles have occurred
without a fault.DTC P0447 can be cleared using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
Poor connections.
Misrouted harness.
Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM-Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
EVAP vent valve display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location of
the fault. If DTC P0447 cannot be duplicated, the
information included in the Failure Records data can
be useful in determined vehicle mileage since the
DTC was last set.
If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P0447 Diagnostic Chart may
isolate the cause of the fault.

in position (%) to adjustment the throttle valve into a
passage in the throttle body to air flow. This method
allows highly accurate control of engine speed and quick
response to changes in engine load.
If the PCM detects a condition where too low of an idle
speed is present and the PCM is unable to adjust idle
speed by increasing the throttle position, DTC P0506 will
set, indicating a problem with the idle control system.

EVAP purge duty cycle more than 10%.
All conditions are met for 10 seconds.
Barometric pressure is more than 74.5 kPa.Engine speed is more than 100-200 RPM lower than
desired idle based upon coolant temperature.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0601 PCM Memory
060RY014
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) used in this vehicle
utilizes an electrically erasable programmable read-only
memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM contains program
information and the calibrations required for engine,
transmission, and powertrain diagnostics operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM
is not replaceable. When the PCM is replaced or a
calibration update is required, the PCM must be
programmed using a Tech 2. Refer to
On-Vehicle Service
in Powertrain Control Module and Sensors for the
EEPROM programming procedure.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects an internal program fault (check sum
error).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0601 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DTC P0601 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0601 indicates that the contents of the
EEPROM have changed since the PCM was
programmed. The only possible repair is PCM
replacement. Remember to program the replacement
PCM with the correct software and calibration for the
vehicle.

P1106 MAP Sensor Circuit Intermittent High Voltage
060R200051
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds
to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The
MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below
2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts with the
ignition ªONº, engine not running or at wide-open throttle
(low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine manifold pressure
changes while the liner EGR flow test diagnostic is being
run (refer to
DTC P0401), to determine engine vacuum
level for some other diagnostics and to determine
barometric pressure (BARO). The PCM compares the
MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle
position and various engine load factors. If the PCM
detects a MAP signal that is intermittently above the
calculated value, DTC P1106 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No TP sensor DTCs are present.
Engine is running for at least 10 seconds.
Throttle angle is below 3% if engine speed is below
1000 RPM.
Throttle angle is below 10% if engine speed is above
1000 RPM.
The MAP sensor indicates an intermittent manifold
absolute pressure above 80 kPa for a total of
approximately 5 seconds over a 16-second period of
time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records data only.
This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame
data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
A history DTC P1106 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DTC P1106 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Leaking or plugged vacuum supply line to the MAP
sensor.
Inspect PCM harness connectors for backed-out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly
formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal-to-wire connection.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness
appears to be OK, observe the MAP display on the
Tech 2 while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the sensor. A change in the display will
indicate the location of the fault.

P1111 IAT Sensor Circuit Intermittent High Voltage
D06RY00147
Circuit Description
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor
which measures the temperature of the air entering the
engine. The powertrain control module (PCM) applies 5
volts through a pull-up resistor to the IAT sensor. When
the intake air is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the
PCM will monitor a high signal voltage on the IAT signal
circuit. If the intake air is warm, the sensor resistance is
lower causing the PCM to monitor a lower voltage. DTC
P1111 will set when the PCM intermittently detects an
excessively high signal voltage on the intake air
temperature sensor signal circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The engine has been running for over 30 seconds.
Vehicle speed is less than 32 km/h (20 mph).
Engine coolant temperature is above 60C (140F).
Mass air flow is less than 20g/second.
IAT signal voltage indicates and intake air temperature
intermittently less than ±39C (±38F) (about 5 volts)
for approximately 2.5 seconds over a 25-second
period of time.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will substitute a default value for intake air
temperature.The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Failure Records data only. This
information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.
DTC P1111 does not illuminate the MIL.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
A history DTC P1111 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
D T C P 1111 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM ±Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness ± Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
IAT display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to the IAT sensor. A change
in the IAT display will indicate the location of the fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
