Diagnostic Procedures
1999 GMC Savana Special 7.4 JSECTION Diagnostic Procedures
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD system check, go to next step.
- Start and operate engine at idle. Using scan tool, monitor MAF sensor frequency. If MAF sensor frequency is greater than 14,000 Hz, go to step 4. If MAF sensor value is not as specified, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on, with engine off. Using scan tool, review FREEZE FRAME and/or FAILURE RECORDS data and note parameters. Turn ignition off for about 15 seconds. Start engine and operate vehicle within conditions required for this diagnostic to run, and as close to conditions recorded in FREEZE FRAME/FAILURE RECORDS as possible. Select DTC function, and then enter DTC P0103. If scan tool indicates that this test failed this ignition, go to next step. If scan tool does not indicate that this test failed this ignition, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector. Start engine. Using scan tool, monitor MAF sensor frequency. If a MAF sensor frequency is displayed, go to step 7. If a MAF sensor frequency is not displayed, go to next step.
- Check for poor connection at MAF sensor harness connector terminal. Repair or replace as necessary. After repairs, go to step 10. If harness connector terminals are okay, go to next step.
- Replace MAF sensor. After repairs, go to step 10.
