A customer may bring their vehicle to the dealer with a complaint of an SES light on.
Condition
Upon diagnosis the technician may find DTC’s P0171 and/or P0174 stored in the ECM.
Cause Possible Vacuum leak in intake or Purge.
Correction:
1. Ensure vehicle is at operating temperature then monitor and record Long Term & Short Term fuel
trims. Plug both the manifold hole and the disconnected foul air tube hole.
2. Shut the engine off and disconnect the foul air tube from the intake manifold.
Detach foul air tube from connection shown above at arrow 1 and plug both sides
3. Restart the vehicle and monitor the Short Term & Long Term fuel trims.
Results:
1. If both the previously recorded Long term and Short term fuel trims were at a positive value
above 5 and now the Short term has gone to a consistent negative value during this test replace the
foul air tube.
2. If the previously recorded Short term is at a value above positive 5 and the long term is
between -2 and 2, but during the test the short term has gone to a zero or negative value replace
the foul air tube.
3. If the fuel trims in steps 1 or 2 did not change proceed with purge valve test.
Note: In some cases the Intake Manifold may have to be replaced if foul air tube replacement by
itself doesn’t address the vacuum leak.
Only replace manifold if test above impacted fuel trims.
Purge Valve Test
If during the test procedure outlined above the fuel trims didn’t change after foul air tube was
capped off proceed to the following test.
1. Shut the vehicle off and ensure the foul air tube and manifold plugs have been removed and
re-install the foul air tube to the manifold
2. Locate the purge valve on the intake manifold (see below)
3. Disconnect vacuum hose and power supply from purge valve (see below)
4. Restart the vehicle then place your finger or a vacuum gauge over the open port on the purge
valve.
5. If you feel vacuum or read vacuum on the gauge at the port of the valve it will need to be
replaced. Shut the vehicle off and then re-install detached components
1. If no vacuum was felt or measured at purge valve port refer to the applicable DTC in service
information to diagnose further.
NOTE: When a permanent repair or part replacement is identified a PI revision or bulletin will be
submitted.
Warranty Information
For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the current labor time for the actual repair made.
