(1). Yes – proceed to Step 2.

(2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Manual for normal diagnostics.

  1. Check the WIF sensor resistance. The WIF sensor is located at the rear of the vehicle between the fuel tank and the frame rail. Is the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the sensor between 795 kOhms and 815 kOhms? (Figure 1)

(1). Yes – proceed to Step 4.

(2). No – proceed to Step 3.
