Diagnostic Procedures

2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LSSECTION Diagnostic Procedures
  1. Perform Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. After performing Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls, go to next step.
  2. Using scan tool, check Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT). Is the ECT value within 50-90°F (10-32°C)? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  4.
  3. Disconnect fuel injector connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance of each fuel injector. Do any of the fuel injectors display a resistance outside 11-14 ohms? If yes, go to step  6. If no, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
  4. Disconnect fuel injector connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance of each fuel injector. Record each fuel injector value. Subtract lowest resistance value from highest resistance value. Is the difference equal to, or less than, 3 ohms? If yes, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . If no, go to next step.
  5. Add all fuel injector resistance values, to obtain total resistance value. Divide total resistance value by number of fuel injectors, to obtain average resistance value. Subtract lowest and highest individual fuel injector resistance values from average resistance value. Replace fuel injector with greatest resistance difference, above or below average. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  7.
  6. If resistance of fuel injector(s) is not 11-14 ohms, replace fuel injector(s). After repairs, go to next step.
  7. Operate system in order to verify repair. Did you correct the condition? If yes, system is okay. If no, go to step  2.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
