Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) replicates the signal received from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. This signal is sent to the fuel injection control module (FICM) through the engine speed signal circuit. The FICM uses this replicated signal to generate injection current and control the recharge of the fuel injection high voltage circuits. When cranking, the FICM has full control of the fuel injectors. The only input the FICM uses at this time is the engine speed signal from the ECM. The FICM monitors the signal along with the injection request signals from the ECM after the engine is running. If there is a problem with this signal, a DTC could set.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
| • | DTC P0370 High Resolution Circuit |
| • | DTC P0374 High Resolution System Performance |
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is cranking or running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The FICM does not receive a crank signal, but does receive injection requests from the ECM. |
| OR |
| • | The FICM receives an invalid crank signal from the ECM. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
A missing high resolution signal will cause a no-start condition. High resistance in the position sensor low reference circuit may cause this DTC to set. If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .
