Circuit/System Testing
1. Read and record the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data taking note of the speed and load at which the DTC set.
2. Diagnose any other DTCs that are set. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
3. With the engine idling and the transmission in the Park or Neutral position, observe the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor parameter.
The MAP sensor parameter should be between 20-48 kPa (2.9-7.0 psi).
瀚慖f the MAP sensor parameter is not between 20-48 kPa (2.9-7.0 psi), refer to DTC P0106 (w/LF1) (See: P Code Charts/P0106) or DTC
P0107 or P0108 (w/LF1) (See: P Code Charts/P0107).
4. Inspect the air induction system for modified, damaged, leaking, or restricted components.
5. Inspect the crankcase ventilation system for improper operation.
6. Inspect the vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and improper connections.
7. Inspect for vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, the throttle body, and the injector O-rings.
8. Test for a restricted, damaged, leaking, or modified exhaust system from the catalytic converter forward. Refer to Symptoms - Engine
Exhaust (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust System/Testing and Inspection/Symptoms - Engine Exhaust).
9. Test the fuel injectors for improper operation. Refer to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test (w/LLT) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers
and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test)Fuel Injector
Solenoid Coil Test (w/LF1) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection).
10. Test for fuel contamination. Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (with Special Tool) (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (with Special Tool))Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (without Special Tool) (
See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (without Special Tool)).
11. Test for excessive fuel in the crankcase due to leaking injectors.
12. Test the ignition system for improper operation. Refer to Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers
and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis).
13. Test the engine for any mechanical conditions such as sticking valves, lifters, etc., which could alter the flow into the combustion chamber.
Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Mechanical).
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verify the repair under the same
speed and load as noted in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data recorded during testing.
P0221
DTC P0121-P0123 or P0221-P0223 (Without LF1)
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System
Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an
overview of the diagnostic approach.
