Mass Air Flow, TP sensor 1, TP sensor 2 display on the
Tech 2 while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the sensor.

Plugged intake air duct or filter element

A wide - open throttle acceleration from a stop should
cause the mass air flow displayed on a Tech 2 to
increase from about 3 – 7 g/s at idle to 100 g/s or
greater at the time of the 1 – 2 shift. If not, check for a
restriction.

A change in the display will indicate the location of
the fault. If DTC P1514 cannot be duplicated, the
information included in the Faillure Records data can
be useful in determined vehicle mileage since the
DTC was last set.

If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P1514 Diagnostic Chart may
isolate the cause of the fault.

6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

P1515 Command - Actual TPS Correlation Error

D06RY00088

Circuit Description

The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit provides a
voltage signal relative to throttle position (blade angle).
The throttle blade angle will vary about 8 % at closed
throttle to about 92 % at wide open throttle(WOT).

The DC motor circuit provides a voltage signal relative
to command throttle position (blade angle).

This DTC ditects the difference between actual throttle
position and command throttle position.

Conditions for setting the DTC

The ignition is “ON”.

Throttle actuation mode is normal.

Command Throttle position - Actual Throttle position is
more than + 5 % for 100 counts within test 1000 test
samples (15.6 m sec) else Actual Throttle position is
less than + 40 % and Command Throttle position -
Actual Throttle position is more than - 5 % or Command
Throttle position - Actual Throttle position is more than
- 20 % for 150 failres within test 1000 test samples
(15.6 m sec).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.

The PCM calculates an air flow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.

The PCM will store condition which were present when
the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the Failure
Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condtion is no longer present.

A history DTC P1515 will clear after 40 cosecutive trip
cycle during which the warm up cycles have occurred
without a fault.

DTC P1515 can be cleared using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent may be caused by the following:

Poor connectons.

Mis routed harness.

Rubbed through wire insulation.

Broken wire inside the insulation.

Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM-Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, mproper mating, locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal to wire connection.

Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
TP sensor 1, TP sensor 2 display on the Tech2 while
