Intermittent Interruption

DTC P1361: Intermittent interruption in TDC Sensor Circuit
1. Check for DTC P1359. If it is stored along with any of the DTCs listed above, troubleshoot it first, then troubleshoot the other DTCs.
2. Do the ECM/PCM Reset Procedure.
3. Start the engine.
Is DTC P0335, P0336, P1361 or P1362 indicated?
YES-Go to step 4.
NO-Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time.
Check for poor connections or loose wires at the CKP/TDC sensor and the ECM/PCM.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.




5. Disconnect the CKP/DTC sensor 4P connector, and measure resistance between its terminals at the locations shown for the DTC(s) you retrieved.
Is there 1,850 - 2,450 Ohm ?
YES-Go to step 6.
NO-Repair the CKP/TDC sensor.




6. Check for continuity from body ground to each terminal indicated for the DTC(s) you retrieved.
Is there continuity?
YES-Repair the CKP/TDC sensor.
NO-Go to step 7.
7. Reconnect the CKP/TDC sensor 4P connector.




8. Disconnect the ECM/PCM connector C (31P), and measure resistance between the terminals indicated for the DTC(s) you retrieved.
Is there 1,850 - 2,450 Ohm ?
YES-Go to step 9.
NO-Repair open in the faulty sensor wire(s).




9. Check for continuity from ECM/PCM connector terminal(s) to body ground as indicated for the DTC (5) you retrieved.
Is there continuity?
YES-Repair short in the faulty sensor wire(s).
NO-Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM/PCM.
