Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Schematic Reference: Instrument Cluster Schematics | ||||
1 | Did you perform the Instrument Cluster Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 | Start the engine. Does the engine oil pressure (EOP) gage display that the engine oil pressure is within the specified range? | 69-483 kPa (10-70 psi) | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
3 |
Does the EOP gage display at or above the specified value? | 550 kPa (80 psi) | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 6 |
4 |
Does the EOP gage display at or below the specified value? | 0 kPa (0 psi) | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Test the signal circuit of the EOP gage for an open or for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 7 |
6 | Test the signal circuit of the EOP gage for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 7 |
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the IPC. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 9 |
8 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 10 |
9 | Replace the IPC. Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 11 | -- |
10 |
Important: Program the replacement PCM. Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls - 8.1L. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 11 | -- |
11 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 2 |
