need help trouble code p1004

[cinorx]

Hope I put this in the right forum, if not moderator please be so kind to me to proper forum, thanks Hello there to all, im new to this website. Im trying to help my sister out with the issue she is having with her car. Her CEL came out so we ran out to autozone there scanner read code number p1004, their system did not recognize the code so I took into myself to do some research I did I came up with it possibly being a bad svr or bad intake manifold, no clue if this is true, maybe some of you can help me out. So she took the car in yesterday 8/3/09 and they told her it was due to carbon buildup, im not a mechanic but I do know a lil about cars, now im waiting for her to stop by since I told her to get me the diagnostics on paper. But to waht I know her issue is carbon buildup, now they told her its not covered under warranty and they wanna charge her about 300.00, in all honesty I don't think she should get charged since the car is fairly new and it has about 35,872 miles on it. Has any one on here heard of such a thing like this or is it another scam the dealer is trying to do to my sister since she's a woman?

P1004-SHORT RUNNER VALVE CONTROL PERFORMANCE

View Full Image

For complete wiring diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

• When Monitored:

With the engine run time above a calibrated value, battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts , ECT within a specific range, and the Short Runner Valve Assembly control active.

• Set Condition:

This PCM compares the circuit feedback to a calibrated closed range when the circuit is de-energized or to a calibrated open range when the circuit is energized. If the value is determined to be out of the calibrated range in either the de-energized or energized state for more than a calibrated amount of time, this DTC will set.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
With the scan tool, actuate the SRV Solenoid Control State.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

• Go to 2

No

• Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. See: Component Tests and General Diagnostics\Checking for an Intermittent DTC

2. (F343) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

View Full Image

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, actuate the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay Control State.
Using a 12 volt test light connected to ground, check the (F343) ASD Relay Output circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Is the test light illuminated and bright?

Yes

• Go to 3

No

• Repair the (F343) ASD Relay Output circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
• Perform the PCM Verification Test. See: Verification Tests\PCM Verification Test

3. (K236) SRV CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

View Full Image

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K236) SRV Control circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.

Is the resistance above 100 ohms?

Yes

• Go to 4

No

• Repair the (K236) SRV Control circuit for a short to ground.
• Perform the PCM Verification Test. See: Verification Tests\PCM Verification Test

4. (K236) SRV CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

View Full Image

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals, resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.

Measure the resistance of the (K236) SRV Control circuit between the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

• Go to 5

No

• Repair the (K236) SRV Control circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
• Perform the PCM Verification Test. See: Verification Tests\PCM Verification Test

5. SHORT RUNNER VALVE ASSEMBLY

View Full Image

Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, actuate the SRV Solenoid Control State to toggle.
Using a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volts , check the (K236) SRV Control circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.

NOTE: If the DTC is active, the actuation test may not be allowed by the PCM. If may be necessary to clear the DTCs before starting the actuation.

NOTE: The test light should illuminate on and off with the actuation.

Does the test light illuminate on and off with the actuation?

Yes

• Replace the Short Runner Valve Assembly.
• Perform the PCM Verification Test. See: Verification Tests\PCM Verification Test

No

• Go to 6

6. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Short Runner Valve Assembly and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

• Repair as necessary.
• Perform the PCM Verification Test. See: Verification Tests\PCM Verification Test

No

• Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
• Perform the PCM Verification Test. See: Verification Tests\PCM Verification Test

Well gas that's the exact same thing I found but what strikes me odd is that they are charging my sister to do a fuel service and carbon cleanin service and also for the tire rotation in all reality I think they are just trying to make some money of my sister.

[GasGunR]

Perhaps... is it a 3.5 V6 car? There has been a carbon issue with them, but I don't think it is related to this code.

PM fnkchkn, he'll give you the right answer.

Good luck!

possible candidate for TSB 18-003-07A.

[cinorx]

Is this something i can take to the service department and show them?

[fnkychkn]

you can always print it and bring it to them but thay have access to all the same info. maybe they just didn't search for it.

assuming her car is an '07 model???

[cinorx]

not at all her car is an 08, now i just found out that when they took it to the dealer the check engine light was not on.
