This PI was superseded to advise dealers there is no repair for early oil change messages or erratic OlM operation. Please discard PIP4540B. The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition I Concern: A dealer may encounter a customer concern of the oil life monitor (OlM) percentage dropping too qUickly, or an early oil change message. A customer utilizing the oil life monitor may be directed to change the oil at (or near) 1000 mile intervals. Recommendation Ilnstructions: Please do not replace the IPC or ECM for an early oil change message. Oil life monitoring is dependent on vehicle use. Oil life monitoring and change intervals will differ depending on how the vehicle is driven. Please complete the current SI diagnostics for any trouble code or symptom found. Engine drivability concerns may induce early oil change messages or erratic OlM operation. Dealers should verify there are no intake or exhaust leaks by completing Charge Air Cooler Diagnosis (Full System Air leak Test and the Induction System Smoke Test). Discuss driving habits with the customer. The main contributor to early or erratic oil change messages may be some of the customers driving habits. Drive cycles that include short trip, stop and go, and extended idle times are a few of the contributors to early oil change messages. Customers with more exhaust regenerations (due to driving habits) are more susceptible to qUicker oil change messages. There is no repair for early oil change messages or erratic OlM operation. If a dealer is to encounter a vehicle with a customer concern of early oil change complete a Field Product Report using the newest version of bulletin 02-00-89-002. Note: If an oil analysis has been completed fuel dilution should not be over 12%.

Description The Engine Cranks but Does Not Run diagnostic table assumes that the battery condition and the engine cranking speed are OK. If the battery condition and the cranking speed are not OK, refer to Diagnostic System Check – Engine Electrical in Engine Electrical for diagnosis. Make sure that there is adequate fuel in the fuel tanks. Diagnostic Aids • Check the duct work between the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle body for air leaks. • A malfunctioning MAF sensor may cause a no start or a stall after start. If you suspect this, disconnect the MAF sensor. The powertrain control module (PCM) will default to the speed density in order to calculate the load and the air flow. If this corrects the condition and the connections are OK, replace the MAF sensor. If the steps above check OK, refer to Symptoms . Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 4. It may be necessary to connect a battery charger to the battery for this step. If the battery state of charge is low, the scan tool may reset during the cranking test. 5. This step tests the ignition relay for proper operation. The ignition relay supplies voltage to the injectors and the ignition coils. When the ignition relay is not operating properly, a no start condition occurs. If the test lamp does not illuminate, this indicates the ignition relay is not suppling a voltage to the fuses. 6. The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located above the starter. 7. The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is located at the rear of the engine behind the intake manifold. 8. The ignition feed circuit for the CMP and CKP sensors is internally connected within the PCM. A short to ground on either circuit will cause a no start condition. 10. The fuel cap may need to be removed in order to hear if the fuel pump is operating. 12. At this point the engine should start. Refer to Hard Start for further diagnosis.
