Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine at operating temperature, observe DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0324, P0325, P0326, P0327, P0328, P0330, P0332, or
P0333 should not set.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
P0324
Note: If DTC P0325, P0326, P0327, P0328, P0330, P0332, or P0333 are also set, diagnose those DTCs first.
DTC P0324 indicates an internal control module circuitry failure. Replace the ECM.
P0325, P0326, P0327, P0328, P0330, P0332, P0333
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the affected KS.
2. Ignition OFF. Connect a DMM to both KS signal circuits, terminals A and B, at the affected KS. Set the DMM to the 400 mV AC scale,
select the Hz mode. Let the reading stabilize at 0 Hz.
Note: DO NOT tap on plastic engine components.
3. Tap on the engine block with a non-metallic object near the affected KS and observe the DMM for a fluctuating frequency.
瀚慖f the DMM does not display a fluctuating frequency while tapping on the engine block then replace the affected KS.
4. Verify the affected KS is properly tightened, refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications (See: Engine, Cooling and
Exhaust/Engine/Specifications/Fastener Tightening Specifications).
5. Ignition OFF, with appropriate length jumper wires, connect the KS1 harness to the KS2 sensor and the KS2 harness to the KS1 sensor.
6. Monitor the DTCs using a scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. Verify the fault does not follow the
sensor in question.
瀚慖f the fault follows the sensor in question, replace the appropriate KS.
7. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wires from the previous step.
8. Measure for 2-3 volts between each of the following circuits and ground on the ECM side of the harness connector:
* The KS signal circuit, terminal A
* The KS signal circuit, terminal B
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the
ECM.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the circuits for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
9. Test for intermittent or poor connections at the ECM, KS, and in-line connectors where present.
10. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
Repair Instructions
