13. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.  

14. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).  

15. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P2252 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM, 
then go to step 1. If the connector and terminal fits are OK, go to step 17. 

NO -Go to step 16. 

16. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2252 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 15, go 
to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor 
(Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling 
until a result comes on. 

17. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or 

substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).  

18. Start the engine, and let it idle.  

19. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P2252 indicated?  

YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE 
ECM/PCM ), then go to step 18. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -Go to step 20. 

20. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2252 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, 
replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or 
DTCs were indicated in step 19, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, go to step 1. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-
good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 18. If the ECM/PCM was 
substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.
