1987 Pontiac Grand Prix LE, 5.0 HSECTION Diagnostic Charts
The diagnostic charts are used to find and repair problems which the on-car diagnostics have found. These charts include:
- Charts which test the reliability of the self-diagnostic system.
- Charts which help fix problems which are "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light related.
- Charts which test the computerized fuel control system performance.
- Charts which help fix a problem when the on-car diagnostics don't work.
- ENGINE CRANKS BUT WON'T RUN charts. Refer to the appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING chart in the CCC TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
- Charts where a stored trouble code leads you to a particular problem. See ECM TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION and DIAGNOSTIC AIDS in this section. Charts which are used because the SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CHECK found a problem.
NOTE:
Although there are many charts connected with computer diagnosis, only 2 charts are needed to prove system is operating properly. Normally, only 3 charts are necessary to find a problem, if one exists.
