  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the multi-way harness connector X161 at the rear of the intake manifold.
  2. Remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
    3. IMPORTANT: Testing for steps 3 through 7 is performed on the ECM side of the multi-way harness connector.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Install the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 11 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool FRP sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.96 volts.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  7. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 12 and the low reference circuit terminal 5. Verify the scan tool FRP voltage parameter transitions from greater than 4.96 volts to less than 0.02 volts
    • If the parameter does not transition from the maximum to minimum value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  8. Ignition OFF, remove the intake manifold.
  9. Disconnect the FRP sensor connector.
  10. Remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
    11. IMPORTANT: Testing for steps 11 through 15 are performed at the FRP sensor connector.
  11. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
  12. Install the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
  13. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  14. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool FRP sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.96 volts.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  15. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool FRP voltage parameter transitions from greater than 4.96 volts to less than 0.02 volts
    • If the parameter does not transition from the maximum to minimum value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage.
  16. If all circuits test normal, replace the FRP sensor.

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.
