DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES

DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - ENGINE MECHANICAL

Begin the system diagnosis by reviewing the Disassembled Views, Engine Content Specifications, Engine
Component Description, Lubrication Description (RPO LY2) or Lubrication Description (RPO
LC9/LY5/LMG) or Lubrication Description (RPO LY6) or Lubrication Description (RPO L76) or
Lubrication Description (RPO L92), Camshaft Position Actuator and Solenoid Valve Description, and
Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Description. Reviewing the description and
operation information helps you determine the correct symptom diagnostic procedure when a malfunction
exists. Reviewing the description and operation information also helps you determine if the condition described
by the customer is normal operation. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in order to identify the correct
procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.

SYMPTOMS - ENGINE MECHANICAL

Strategy Based Diagnostics

1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle before using the symptom tables.
2. Review the system operations in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to
Disassembled Views, Engine Content Specifications, Engine Component Description, Lubrication

L92), Camshaft Position Actuator and Solenoid Valve Description, and Cylinder Deactivation
(Active Fuel Management) System Description.

All diagnosis on a vehicle should follow a logical process. Strategy based diagnostics is a uniform approach for
repairing all systems. The diagnostic flow may always be used in order to resolve a system condition. The
diagnostic flow is the place to start when repairs are necessary. For a detailed explanation, refer to Strategy
Based Diagnosis .

Visual/Physical Inspection

 Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the engine. Refer to Checking
Aftermarket Accessories .
 Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could
cause the symptom.
 Inspect for the correct oil level, proper oil viscosity, and correct filter application.
 Verify the exact operating conditions under which the concern exists. Note factors such as engine RPM,
ambient temperature, engine temperature, amount of engine warm-up time, and other specifics.
 Compare the engine sounds, if applicable, to a known good engine and make sure you are not trying to

COOLANT IN COMBUSTION CHAMBER

Coolant in Combustion Chamber

Cause Correction
DEFINITION: Excessive white smoke and/or coolant type odor coming from the exhaust pipe may
indicate coolant in the combustion chamber. Low coolant levels, an inoperative cooling fan, or a faulty
thermostat may lead to an overtemperature condition, which may cause engine component damage.

1. A slower than normal cranking speed may indicate coolant entering the combustion chamber. Refer
to Engine Will Not Crank - Crankshaft Will Not Rotate.
2. Remove the spark plugs and inspect for spark plugs saturated by coolant or coolant in the cylinder
bore.
3. Inspect by performing a cylinder leak-down test. During this test, excessive air bubbles within the

COOLANT IN ENGINE OIL

Coolant in Engine Oil

Cause Correction
DEFINITION: Foamy or discolored oil or an engine oil overfill condition may indicate coolant entering
the engine crankcase. Low coolant levels, an inoperative cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat may lead to
an overtemperature condition which may cause engine component damage. Contaminated engine oil and
oil filter should be changed.

1. Inspect the oil for excessive foaming or an overfill condition. Oil diluted by coolant may not
properly lubricate the crankshaft bearings and may lead to component damage. Refer to Lower

Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle . Repair, as required.
3. Verify proper engine oil pressure and operation of the active fuel management oil pressure relief valve.
Refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing.
4. Verify proper operation of the active fuel management system components. Refer to Cylinder
Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Compression Test.
5. Remove the valve lifter oil manifold. Refer to Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Replacement .
6. Verify proper operation of the valve lifter oil manifold. Refer to Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel

7. Replace the active fuel management valve lifters, as required. Both intake and exhaust lifters should be
replaced in pairs. Refer to Valve Lifter Replacement (RPOs LC9/LMG/LY5/L76/L92) or Valve Lifter
Replacement (RPOs LY2/LY6) .

ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST

1. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged.

2. Disable the ignition system.
3. Disable the fuel injection system.
4. Remove all spark plugs.
5. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
6. Depress the accelerator pedal to position the throttle plate wide open.
7. Start with the compression gage at zero and crank the engine through 4 compression strokes, 4 puffs.
8. Measure the compression for each cylinder. Record the readings.
9. If a cylinder has low compression, inject approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into the
combustion chamber through the spark plug hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
10. The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest cylinder.
No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any 1
cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa
(105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).
 Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each cylinder.

 Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
 Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up on
the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
 If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the cylinders.

 Active fuel management hardware is present in first design L92 engines.

The system is inactive for the 2007 model year.

The Active Fuel Management System Compression Test is a functional test of the valve lifter oil manifold and
valve lifters. Using a compression gage, the technician can monitor the specific cylinders ability to go into and
out of active fuel management as commanded by the scan tool. The actual pressure values on the compression
gage are not as critical as is observing the on-off switching action of the solenoid and valve lifters.

1. Measure the engine oil level. Fill, as required.

2. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle .
3. Disable the ignition system for the cylinder to be tested, by disconnecting the electrical wire harness to
the ignition coil.
4. Disable the fuel injection system for the cylinder to be tested, by disconnecting the electrical wire harness
to the fuel injector.
5. Remove the spark plug and wire for the cylinder to be tested.
6. Install a 0-1 378 kPa (0-200 psi) compression gage.
7. Start the engine.
8. Using the scan tool output controls, command the solenoid ON, for the cylinder to be deactivated.
9. Depress the Schrader valve on the compression gage, in order to release the pressure and zero the gage.
With the engine running and the cylinder in active fuel management mode, the compression reading
should be less than 172 kPa (25 psi).
10. Using the scan tool, de-energize the solenoid while observing the reading on the compression gage. With
the engine running and the cylinder NOT in active fuel management mode, the compression gage reading
should increase quickly to greater than 345 kPa (50 psi).

IMPORTANT: Only 1 cylinder can be tested at a time. When testing has been completed
on a specific cylinder, the wire harness electrical connectors, spark plug,
and spark plug wire must be installed prior to testing of each additional
cylinder.

11. Test each of the 4 active fuel management cylinders, 1 at a time. If the readings are not within
specifications, remove and test the valve lifter oil manifold, as required. Refer to Valve Lifter Oil
Manifold Replacement and Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) Valve Lifter Oil
Manifold Diagnosis and Testing.
12. If the compression test has been performed and all active fuel management cylinders are operating within
specifications, the active fuel management system is performing as designed and no repairs are required.
13. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.

IMPORTANT: A leakage test may be performed in order to measure cylinder/combustion

chamber leakage. High cylinder leakage may indicate one or more of the
following conditions:

 Worn or burnt valves

 Broken valve springs
 Stuck valve lifters
 Incorrect valve lash
 Damaged piston
 Worn piston rings
 Worn or scored cylinder bore
 Damaged cylinder head gasket

crankshaft from rotating.

5. Apply shop air pressure to the J 35667-A and adjust according to the manufacturers instructions. See
Special Tools.
6. Record the cylinder leakage value. Cylinder leakage that exceeds 25 percent is considered excessive and
may require component service. In excessive leakage situations, inspect for the following conditions:
 Air leakage noise at the throttle body or air inlet hose that may indicate a worn or burnt intake
valve or a broken valve spring.
 Air leakage noise at the exhaust system tailpipe that may indicate a worn or burnt exhaust valve or
a broken valve spring.
 Air leakage noise from the crankcase, oil level indicator tube, or oil fill tube that may indicate worn
piston rings, a damaged piston, a worn or scored cylinder bore, a damaged engine block or a
damaged cylinder head.
 Air bubbles in the cooling system may indicate a damaged cylinder head or a damaged cylinder
head gasket.
7. Perform the leakage test on the remaining cylinders and record the values.
