41.3.5

Check Timing Reference Sensor Gap

Perform the following steps to check the TRS gap. 1. Bar the engine until the TRS is over a TRS tooth of the pulse wheel. 2. Check the gap between TRS and the tooth of the pulse wheel (0.020 to 0.040 in.). A depth micrometer can be used. [a] [b] If the gap setting is correct, refer to section 41.3.6. If the gap setting is not correct, adjust the TRS until the gap setting is correct. If the problem returns, the pulse wheel may be loose, bad, or damaged. Refer to section 41.3.15.

41.3.6

Synchronous Reference Sensor Code Check

Perform the following steps to check for SRS code. 1. Check for SRS code. [a] [b] If code 21/1 is not logged, refer to section 41.3.7. If code 21/1 is logged, refer to section 41.3.8.

41.3.7

Check ECM Connectors

Perform the following steps to check the ECM connectors. 1. Check terminals at the ECM engine harness connectors (both the ECM and harness side) for damage: bent, corroded, and unseated pins or sockets. [a] [b] If terminals and connectors are damaged, repair them. Refer to section 41.3.15. If terminals and connectors are not damaged, install a test ECM. Refer to section 41.3.15.

Check for Short

Perform the following steps to check for a short. 1. Disconnect the SRS connector. 2. Measure resistance between sockets S1 and S2 on the engine harness connector. [a] [b] If measured resistance is greater than 10,000 or open, refer to section 41.3.11. If measured resistance is less than or equal to 10,000 , the signal line #111 is shorted to the return line #112. Repair the short. Refer to section 41.3.15.

41.3.10
