RODEO 6VD1 3.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

EVAP purge solenoid driver circuit grounded

If any of these conditions are present, DTC P1441 will set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

No TP sensor, ODM, IAT sensor, or MAP sensor DTCs
are set.

Intake air temperature is above 0

C (32

F).

Fuel tank level is between 15% and 85%.

A continuous open purge flow condition is detected
during the diagnostic test.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator lamp
(MIL) during the second key cycle trip in which the DTC
sets.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P1441 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P1441 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM. Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.

Damaged harness. Inspect the wring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, connect the
EVAP pressure/purge cart J41413 to the EVAP service
port, pressurize the EVAP system to 10 in. H

O and

observe the “Fuel Tank Vacuum” display on the Tech
2 while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the EVAP purge solenoid. A sudden change
in the display will indicate the location of the fault.

Incorrect vacuum line routing. Verify that the source
vacuum line routing to the EVAP purge solenoid is
correct and that the EVAP purge and source vacuum
lines to the EVAP purge solenoid are not switched.

Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2.If an EVAP purge solenoid electrical fault is present,

the purge system will not operate correctly.
repairing the electrical fault will very likely correct
the condition that set DTC P1441.

3.Checks the fuel tank vacuum sensor at ambient

pressure.

4.Checks for a stuck open EVAP purge solenoid.

5.Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor accurately

reacts to EVAP system pressure changes.

7.If the EVAP purge and engine vacuum lines are

switched at the EVAP purge solenoid, the solenoid
valve will leak vacuum.

RODEO 6VD1 3.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1508 IAC System Low RPM

T321115

Circuit Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine
idle speed by adjusting the position of the idle air control
(IAC) motor pintle. The IAC is a bi-directional stepper
motor driven by two coils. The PCM applies current to the
IAC coils in steps (counts) to extend the IAC pintle into a
passage in the throttle body to decrease air flow. The
PCM reverses the current to retract the pintle, increasing
air flow. This method allows highly accurate control of idle
speed and quick response to changes in engine load. If
the PCM detects a condition where too low of an idle
speed is present and the PCM is unable to adjust idle
speed by increasing the IAC counts, DTC P1508 will set,
indicating a problem with the idle control system.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

No Tech 2 test is being run.

None of these DTCs are set: TP sensor, VSS, ECT,
EGR, fuel system, MAF, MAP, IAT, canister purge,
injector control or ignition control.

Barometric pressure is above 75 kPa.

Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 50

(120

F).

Vehicle speed is less than 1 mph.

The engine has been running for at least 125 seconds.

Canister purge duty cycle is above 10%.

Ignition voltage is between 9.5 volts and 16.7 volts.

The throttle is closed.

Engine speed is lower than desired idle.

Engine speed is more than 100-200 RPM lower than
desired idle, based upon coolant temperature.

All of the above conditions are met for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P1508 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P1508 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM or IAC motor – Inspect
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.

Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring for damage.

6E2–406

RODEO 6VD1 3.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Restricted air intake system – Check for a possible
collapsed air intake duct, restricted air filter element,
or foreign objects blocking the air intake system.

Throttle body – Check for objects blocking the IAC
passage or throttle bore, excessive deposits in the IAC
passage and on the IAC pintle, and excessive deposits
in the throttle bore and on the throttle plate.

Large vacuum leak – Check for a condition that causes
a large vacuum leak, such as an incorrectly installed or

faulty PCV valve or a disconnected brake booster
hose.

NOTE: This Tech 2 command may cause the engine to
“cut out” when RPM goes above 1500. If this occurs,
the “cutting out” will stop when the Tech 2 command for
