Bbudwich replied to the thread P0410 Air check valve closes after 10 seconds on Cold Start.My read from the SM is that the system will run for less than 25 seconds .... but that does not matter at this point since you are probably on the right track about the pump.... maybe. :-) The...

Like.
Although I'm a bit late to this thread, I noticed that you had problems getting a usable "Knock Retard" PID to use in Torque Pro. I fired up Tech2Win and made it think that it was connected to a... -
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.sorry I don't know what you actually are trying to do. I suggested an impedance test. I guess I should have explanined things a bit more. First, there is NO power of the system ( ie. the...

Ok, So I installed the extenders and swapped the connectors. so the connector that was on the front bank knock sensor 1 is now connected to the rear knock bank sensor 2 and the bank 2 is connected...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.do the impedance that I suggested earlier using the combinations of "low refs". The results of your "switch-a-roo" testing is that it doesn't rule out an issue at the connectors to the pcm as...

Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.I guess the question would be: what did the mechanic do when he tested for "air in the system"? Did he or was able to cause operation of valves which should have been one of the tests of the...

Doing some more reading online and finally found something that matches the description of my problem exactly - It appears that a stuck open dump valve in the ABS valve body can cause a soft pedal...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Not sure but I don't think a "pending fault" will cause a freeze frame snap shot since the fault hasn't actually occurred as the conditions for settings the code haven't been met.... my guess /...
-
BI wonder if that shop actually read an old/historical code rather than an active one? He even said that he was able to activate the motor but it had a code saying that it was open? Since you...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.ok... so then are the codes the same with fuse in versus fuse out? Of course, the matter of "code reset" has to be considered which might not be within your reader capability.

Actually it turns out I can read brake codes, I just never thought to since it didn't throw a dash light. I poked around on my scanner when I had the fuse out and found where I could read them...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.Interesting as fuse 33 is the powering for the motor and not necessarily the main power for the EBCM which appears to be 51 so the EBCM appears to be setting the light as opposed to the BCM that...

ABS motor is confirmed GOOD. Used a couple solid copper wires as leads, plugged them into its connector, and tapped them to the terminals of a 9.6v drill battery. I'm aware that's not ideal but...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.which fuse number? ADDED: My read of things is that pulling the / a fuse does not necessarily mean that the EBCM is functioning in terms of warnings as the warning could be generated elsewhere...

Bbudwich reacted to 02FailBlazer's post in the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay? with Like.
Update - ABS light is functional. I pulled the ABS fuse both to check the light and to see if it changed the pedal feel with no power going to the EBCM. The ABS light illuminated and the "Service...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.I understand.... but you also made comments about "I'll still check everything I can to try ruling out the EBCM". I am trying to help you do that. As I mentioned and you stated, that the...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.Can does the light work? Based on what the garage guys did commanding the motor to run, it would appear to point at the EBCM module as having an issue and not fully operating valves. Check...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.I don't know anything about the abs operation but it seems rather "simple" in terms of "outward" electronics. The first concern would be the lack of indicator light on the dash for the fault...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.lots of "detective work"... have you looked at any of the freeze frame for the code?
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Looking back at the photos... in particular, the second photo of the pins at the pcm connector. There appears to a be a few that seem to show some form of discoloration and even a bit bent...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Another thing you will find is that torque is somewhat a "community app"... meaning that it is not "sanctioned" by the auto makers and thus not everything is guaranteed to be "spec'ed as...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.I don't think that is correct. Yes, there are O2 sensor readings which are "voltage based"... but I think what you are seeing is some "app implementation issue"... I would have to check...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Not all data elements exist on a given vehicle. In the 4.2l engine case, there are only two o2 sensors, bank 1. Further, fuel trims are typically only concerned with the "front sensor" (ie...
