COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CHECK BETWEEN TIMING SENSOR AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

OPERATION

 

 

Powertrain Control Module and timing sensor connections

 

Check for loose electrical connections at the sensor and at the Powertrain Control Module.

 

Go to Step 2

 

Presence of loose electrical connections

 

Restore the correct connections.

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

WIRING CONTINUITY CHECK BETWEEN POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND TIMING SENSOR

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

OPERATION

 

 

Wiring between timing sensor and Powertrain Control Module

 

Check for continuity breaks of the wiring between the timing sensor and the pin 36 of the Powertrain Control Module caused by oxidised or corroded terminals

 

Go to Step 3

 

Breaks in the continuity of the wiring between the sensor and the Powertrain Control Module

 

Restore the correct continuity of the wiring between the sensor and the Powertrain Control Module
