| DTC P1361 (8-2): | TDC Sensor Intermittent Interruption |
| 1. | Reset the ECM/PCM. |
| 2. | Start the engine. Is DTC P1361 and/or P1362 indicated? YES - Go to 3. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose wires at the TDC sensor and at the ECM/ PCM.n |
| 3. | Turn the ignition switch OFF. |
| 4. | Disconnect the TDC sensor 3P connector. |
| 5. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II). |
| 6. | Measure voltage between the TDC sensor 3P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage? YES - Go to 7. NO - Repair open in the wire between the PGM-FI main relay 1 and the TDC sensor.n |
| 7. | Measure voltage between the TDC sensor 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there about 5 V? YES - Go to 8. NO - Go to 10. |
| 8. | Measure voltage between the TDC sensor 3P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.
Is there battery voltage? YES - Go to 9. NO - Repair open in the wire between the TDC sensor and G101.n |
| 9. | Substitute a known-good TDC sensor and recheck. Is DTC P1361 and/or P1362 indicated? YES - Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck. If symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM/ PCM.n NO - Replace the original TDC sensor.n |
| 10. | Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A26 and body ground.
Is there about 5 V? YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A26) and TDC sensor.n NO - Go to 11. |
| 11. | Turn the ignition switch OFF. |
| 12. | Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. |
| 13. | Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P). |
| 14. | Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A26 and body ground.
Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A26) and the TDC sensor.n NO - Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck. If symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM/ PCM.n |
