Differential Pressure Sensor -G505-, Checking

General Description

Exhaust gas temperature sensors are positive temperature coefficient (PTC) sensors. They measure the temperature of the exhaust gas. The Engine Control Module -J623- uses the signals from exhaust gas temperature sensors to calculate the amount of contamination in the diesel particulate filter, also to protect the turbocharger from unacceptably high exhaust gas temperatures. The diesel particulate filter contamination status is calculated using these signals from the exhaust gas temperature sensors, together with the signals from; the Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 -G450-, the Differential Pressure Sensor -G505-, the Mass Airflow Sensor -G70-, and the Oxygen Sensor 1 Before Catalytic Converter -GX10-. The signal also serves as a component protection in order to protect the diesel particulate filter and turbocharger from excessively high exhaust gas temperatures.

Test Procedure

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK . -- Was Complaint verified?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 2. -- NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	IGNITION: OFF. DISCONNECT: Differential Pressure Sensor -G505- harness connector. IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Differential Pressure Sensor -G505- harness connector terminals 1 to 2 for voltage. SPECIFIED VALUE: About 5.0 V. IGNITION: OFF. -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 3. -- NO: GO TO: Step 4.
3	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. CHECK: Differential Pressure Sensor -G505- harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 81 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Differential Pressure Sensor -G505-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. GO TO: Step 5. -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5.
4	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. CHECK: Differential Pressure Sensor -G505- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 48 for resistance. CHECK: Differential Pressure Sensor -G505- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 65 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 5. -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5.
5	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. -- Does the original DTC return?	-- YES: CHECK: Engine Control Module -J623- harness connector for any damaged, pushed-out pins. REPAIR: As necessary. If all electrical connections are OK: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. Clear the DTC's. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY . Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to READINESS CODE . Return vehicle to Customer. -- NO: Perform the diagnostic procedure for any DTC's. If no DTC's return, the repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.
