- Clear the PCM DTCs.
- Check for self-test DTCs.
Are any DTCs present other than the following: P2104?
Yes No DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. ADDRESS the next DTC. GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS . INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASEABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY - FLASH EEPROM . - QE7 DTC P2105: CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF PCM DTCS NOTE: P2105 will be set in combination with other DTCs.
- Clear the PCM DTCs.
- Check for self-test DTCs.
Are any DTCs present other than the following: P2105?
Yes No DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. ADDRESS the next DTC. GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS . GO to QE8. - QE8 CARRY OUT A VISUAL INSPECTION
- Key in OFF position.
- Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of damage:
- ETBTACM.
- PCM.
Are any concerns present?
Yes No ISOLATE the fault and REPAIR as necessary. INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASEABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY - FLASH EEPROM . - QE9 DTC P2106: CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF PCM DTCS
- Clear the PCM DTCs.
- Check for self-test DTCs.
Are any DTCs present other than the following: P2106?
Yes No DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. ADDRESS the next DTC. GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS . For Vehicles with an EGR System Module (ESM) GO to QE10
For All Others
GO to QE12. - QE10 CHECK THE MAP SENSOR FOR AN OFFSET SIGNAL
- Key in OFF position.
- Allow the vehicle to cool down.
- ESM connector disconnected.
- Measure the resistance between:
( + ) ESM Connector, Component Side ( - ) ESM Connector, Component Side VREF - Pin 2 SIGRTN - Pin 6 Is the resistance greater than 2K ohms?
Yes No GO to QE12. INSTALL a new ESM. - QE11 DTC P2110: CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF PCM DTCS NOTE: P2110 will be set in combination with other DTCs.
- Clear the PCM DTCs.
- Check for self-test DTCs.
Are any DTCs present other than the following: P2110?
Yes No DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. ADDRESS the next DTC. GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS . INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASEABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY - FLASH EEPROM . - QE12 CHECK FOR ABS AND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CONCERNS NOTE: Refer to REFERENCE VALUES - CNG, FLEX-FUEL & GASOLINE for the typical diagnostic reference values.
- ESM connector connected.
- Key on engine running.
- Access the PCM and monitor the OSS, TSS/ISS and VSS PIDs.
- Access the ABS and monitor the LF_WSPD, LR_WSPD, RF_WSPD and RR_WSPD PIDs.
- l Road test the vehicle under various load conditions while comparing the PIDs. Check for signals that are intermittent or do not correspond.
Do the PID values correspond with the vehicle operating conditions?
Yes No CHECK for an intermittent concern with an ETC related harness or sensor
GO to Pinpoint Test Z.REFER to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK CONTROL article to diagnose any ABS concerns.

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.
