1. Remove excessive carbon buildup with a top
engine cleaner. Refer to the instructions on the top
engine cleaner can.
2. Perform the exhaust emission test.
Does the vehicle pass the test?
- System OK Go to Step 18
17
Perform the exhaust emission test.
Does the vehicle pass the test?
- System OK Go to Step 18

Check the fuel control Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S). When monitored on the Tech 2, the HO2S
should respond quickly to different throttle positions. If
it doesn't check for silicon or other contaminates from
fuel or use of improper sealant. The sensors may have
a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination sends
a rich exhaust signal which causes the ECM to
command and excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
Was a problem found?
- Verify repair Go to Step 19

Monitor "B1S1 (Bank 1 Sensor 1) Status" and "B2S1
(Bank 2 Sensor 1) Status" on the Tech 2.
Is the "B1S1 (Bank 1 Sensor 1) Status" or "B2S1
(Bank 2 Sensor 1) Status" in the rich condition?
- Go to Step 20 Go to Step 21

Check items that can cause the engine to run rich.
Refer to DTC P0172 "O2 Sensor System Too Rich
(Bank 1)" or DTC P0175 "O2 Sensor System Too Rich
(Bank 2)".
Was a problem found?
- Verify repair Go to Step 22
21
Check items that can cause the engine to run lean.
Refer to DTC P0171 "O2 Sensor System Too Lean
(Bank 1)" or DTC P0174 "O2 Sensor System Tool
Lean (Bank 2)".
Was a problem found?
- Verify repair Go to Step 22

Check for the following engine mechanical problems
(refer to Engine Mechanical):

Low compression.

Leaking cylinder head gaskets.

Worn camshaft. -Sticking or leaking valves.

Valve timing. -Broken valve springs.
Was a problem found?
- Verify repair Go to Step 23
