Update - ABS light is functional. I pulled the ABS fuse both to check the light and to see if it changed the pedal feel with no power going to the EBCM. The ABS light illuminated and the "Service... -
Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.I understand.... but you also made comments about "I'll still check everything I can to try ruling out the EBCM". I am trying to help you do that. As I mentioned and you stated, that the...

Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.Can does the light work? Based on what the garage guys did commanding the motor to run, it would appear to point at the EBCM module as having an issue and not fully operating valves. Check...

Bbudwich replied to the thread Replace rubber brake lines, yea or nay?.I don't know anything about the abs operation but it seems rather "simple" in terms of "outward" electronics. The first concern would be the lack of indicator light on the dash for the fault...

Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.lots of "detective work"... have you looked at any of the freeze frame for the code?

Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Looking back at the photos... in particular, the second photo of the pins at the pcm connector. There appears to a be a few that seem to show some form of discoloration and even a bit bent...

Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Another thing you will find is that torque is somewhat a "community app"... meaning that it is not "sanctioned" by the auto makers and thus not everything is guaranteed to be "spec'ed as...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.I don't think that is correct. Yes, there are O2 sensor readings which are "voltage based"... but I think what you are seeing is some "app implementation issue"... I would have to check...
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Not all data elements exist on a given vehicle. In the 4.2l engine case, there are only two o2 sensors, bank 1. Further, fuel trims are typically only concerned with the "front sensor" (ie...

Bbudwich replied to the thread NEED HELP Poor Gas Mileage -.If you are doing a lot of stop and go city driving, you are going to be hard pressed to get any better ... maybe as much as 6 ... my experience on suburb driving. Certainly, if your driving is...

Bbudwich replied to the thread PCV hose removal / cleaning - CV side.yes.... the amount of vacuum being pulled thru the "metered orifice" on the other side may not be enough to over come the "fresh air intake" at the resonator. I probably need to cap the barb...

Bbudwich replied to the thread PCV hose removal / cleaning - CV side.Thanks for the hints. As suggested, removing the brake vac line helped get better leverage and hand access... plus I was then able to see what I was up against in terms of the length of the...

Moving the brake booster vacuum hose out of the way gives you a bit more room to work and is easy to do. The plastic barb is, hopefully, tougher than you think. I say hopefully because you never...

BOn my 2008 TB 4.2l with 240kkm plus, I thought that perhaps its a good time to pay some attention the the PCV path.... especially since it appears that perhaps the system is not working "well"...

OK, update. I tested the continuity between the female slots 71 & 72 on the ECM connector and the female slots on the knock sensor harness connector. Both had continuity and no resistance. I had...

Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! AC not working. General question, please?.why are you asking for the forum to "guess" what you can easily find out by using the equipment that you got?
-
Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Actually, I think this code (and related sister code) means that the system will not being doing its job as the system disregards the output from the sensor and thus there is NO compensation done...

Here's the schematic for the knock sensors. You'll want to check the wires for sensor #2. Be sure to check resistance/continuity from the sensor wires to the PCM and also to ground on both...

Bbudwich replied to the thread SOLVED! CEL with P0332 rear knock sensor - how to test wire?.Reply Have you actually looked at your misfire counts? There are likely other things associated with actual firing issues that would show up if you look at fuel trims.
