The Electronic Control Module (ECM) supplies a regulated voltage of 5.0 ± 0.16 VDC to the
following sensors:
The supply for the +5 V engine pressure sensor is routed from the ECM to terminal A of each
pressure sensor connector. The supply voltage is 5.0 ± 0.16 VDC.
The +5 V diagnostic code is probably caused by a short circuit to ground or a short circuit to another
voltage source in the harness.

Note: An open circuit diagnostic code should be active for all of the engine pressure sensors.
Expected Result:
The 5 volt diagnostic codes are not active. An open circuit diagnostic code should be active for all of
the engine pressure sensors.
Results:
Repair: Reconnect the P2 ECM connector. Remove the breakout T. Reconnect the P1 ECM
connector.
Repair: Connect a test ECM.If the test ECM fixes the problem, reconnect the suspect ECM.If
the problem returns, permanently install the new ECM.Verify that the repair eliminates the
problem.
STOP
B. Monitor the active diagnostic code screen on the electronic service tool.
C. Disconnect the pressure sensors one at a time. Wait for 30 seconds after each pressure sensor is
disconnected.
Note: The 5 volt diagnostic code will become inactive if a pressure sensor is the cause of the 5
volt diagnostic code.
Expected Result:
The 5 volt diagnostic code is still active when all of the pressure sensors are disconnected.
Results:

• Not OK - The 5 volt diagnostic code disappears when the pressure sensors are disconnected.
Repair: Reconnect all of the pressure sensors except the suspect sensor.
B. Measure the voltage between terminal C (Signal) and terminal B (Engine Pressure Sensor
Common) of the connector for the suspect sensor on the engine harness.
Expected Result:
Results:
Repair: Reconnect all of the pressure sensors.Disconnect the sensor that is causing the 5 volt
diagnostic code.Temporarily connect a new sensor.If the problem is resolved with the new
sensor, reconnect the suspect sensor.If the problem returns, replace the suspect sensor.Verify
that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
Repair: Inspect the signal wire for a short circuit to a voltage source.Repair the signal wire or
replace the signal wire.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
B. Access the active diagnostic code screen on the electronic service tool.

B. Measure the voltage between terminal A (Engine Pressure Sensor +5V) and chassis ground for
each pressure sensor.
Expected Result:
Results:
Repair: Check the 5 volt supply wire for a short to a higher voltage source.Repair the 5 volt
supply wire or replace the 5 volt supply wire.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
B. Measure the voltage between terminal A (Engine Pressure Sensor +5V) and terminal B (Engine
Pressure Sensor Common) on all of the pressure sensors.
C. While the voltage is monitored, perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on the common wires for the 5
volt supply.
Expected Result:

Repair: Inspect the common wire for an open circuit.Repair the common wire or replace the
common wire.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
C. Measure the resistance between terminal A (Engine Pressure Sensor +5V) and terminal B
(Engine Pressure Sensor Common) of each pressure sensor connector.
Expected Result:
The resistance should be greater than 20,000 ohms, or "OL" is displayed on the multimeter.
Results:
• OK - The 5 volt supply and the pressure sensor common are not shorted.
Repair: Check the 5 volt supply for a short to ground.Repair the 5 volt supply wire or replace
the 5 volt supply wire.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
• Not OK - There is a short between the 5 volt supply and the pressure sensor common.
Repair: Locate the short between the 5 volt supply and the pressure sensor common.Repair the
faulty wiring or replace the faulty wiring.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
