CAUSE B - SENSOR SIGNAL SHORTED TO SENSOR SUPPLY
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
1. Turn truck power ON.
2. Change DMM to volts scale.
3. At sensor connector, using procedure for probing the harness, measure voltage across sensor signal pin and
sensor ground pin.
Is voltage equal to sensor supply voltage (approximately 5 Vdc)?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: If voltage is approximately equal to battery voltage, go to Cause C.
4. Disconnect sensor connector and repeat measurement from Step 3.
Is voltage equal to approximately 5 Vdc?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Replace applicable sensor. Refer to the appropriate Electrical System SRM.
5. Ensure truck power is OFF.
6. Disconnect the indicated ECU connector.
7. Change DMM to ohms scale. Verify zero reading on DMM.
8. At sensor connector, measure resistance between the sensor signal pin and sensor supply pin.
Is resistance less than 0.5 ohms?
YES: The sensor signal wire and the sensor supply wire are shorted. Locate and repair/replace shorted wire/
connection. Refer to the appropriate Wiring Harness Repair SRM.
NO: Go to Cause C.
CAUSE C - SENSOR SIGNAL SHORTED TO BATTERY SOURCE
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
1. Ensure truck power is OFF.
2. Disconnect the indicated connectors at sensor and applicable ECU.
3. Change the DMM to the volts scale.
4. At the sensor harness connector, measure the voltage across the sensor signal wire (+) and the negative (-)
terminal of the battery.
Is voltage approximately system voltage?
YES: The signal wire is shorted to an unswitched battery source. Refer to Electrical Schematic. Refer to the
appropriate Diagrams and Schematics SRM for unswitched battery voltage sources. Locate and repair/
replace shorted wire/connection. Refer to the appropriate Wiring Harness Repair SRM.
NO: Go to Step 5.
5. Turn truck power ON and repeat Step 4.
Is voltage approximately system voltage?
YES: The sensor signal wire is shorted to a switched battery source. Refer to Electrical Schematic. Refer to
the appropriate Diagrams and Schematics SRM for switched battery voltage sources. Locate and repair/
replace shorted wire/connection. Refer to the appropriate Wiring Harness Repair SRM.
NO: Go to Cause D.
CAUSE D - SENSOR FAILURE
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
1. Ensure truck power is OFF.

NOTE: Do not discard original sensor after removal.
2. Replace sensor.
3. Ensure that all connections are completely inserted.
4. Turn truck power ON.
Does reported DTC reoccur?
YES: Reinstall original sensor and go to Cause E. Refer to the appropriate Electrical System SRM.
NO: Problem has been corrected. Resume operation. Discard faulty sensor.
