When Monitored:
With the engine running in closed loop mode, the ambient/battery temperature above (-7°C) 20°F, altitude
below 8500 ft.
Set Condition:
If the PCM multiplies short term compensation by long term adaptive as wellas a purge fuel multiplier and the
result is below a certain value for 30 seconds over two trips, a freeze frameis stored, the MIL illuminates and
a trouble code is stored. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

FUEL CONTAMINATION
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Check the vehicle repair history. If the 1/2 O2 has been replaced makesure that the O2 sensor was
properly installed and meets OEM specification.
NOTE: Check for contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor: contaminated fuel, unapproved sil-
icone, oil and coolant.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC active at this time?

Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
2.EXHAUST LEAK
Turn the ignition off.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury from the exhaust system being hot, allowthe exhaust to cool down to
a safe temperature before performing a physical inspection. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
personal injury or death.
Visually and Physically inspect the exhaust system for holes, cracks and blockage in the exhaust system.
Is the exhaust system is good condition?
