IMPORTANT:
The exhaust system on this emission certi ed en-
gine contains a Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen
Sensor (HEGO) which provides feed back to the
ECM on the amount of oxygen present in the ex-
haust stream after combustion.
The oxygen in the exhaust stream is measured in
voltage and sent to the ECM. The ECM then
makes corrections to the fuel air ratio to ensure
the proper fuel charge and optimum catalytic per-
formance. Therefore, it is important that the
exhaust connections remain secured and air tight.

FUEL SYSTEM SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTICS
Checks Action
Before using this section, you should have performed On Board Diagnostic
(OBD) Check and determined that:
Several of the following symptom procedures call for a careful visual and
physical check. These checks are very important as they can lead to prompt
diagnosis and correction of a problem.
Check the wiring for the following items: proper connections, pinches or
cuts.
The following symptom tables contain groups of possible causes for each
symptom. The order of these procedures is not important. If the DST read-
ings do not indicate a problem, then proceed in a logical order, easiest to
check or most likely to cause the problem.

Note: LPG being a gaseous fuel requires higher secondary ignition system
voltages for the equivalent gasoline operating conditions.
1. Check for the proper ignition voltage output with J 26792 or the equiva-
lent.
2. Verify that the spark plugs are correct for use with LPG.
32
NO START
Checks Action
Important: The LPG Fuel system is more sensitive to intake manifold leak-
age than the gasoline fuel system.
33
HARD START
Checks Action
DEFINITION: The engine cranks OK, but does not start for a long time. The engine does eventually run,
or may start but immediately dies.
Preliminary Checks Make sure the vehicle’s operator is using the correct starting procedure.
Check the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor with the DST. Compare
the engine coolant temperature with the ambient air temperature on a
cold engine. If the coolant temperature reading is more than 10 degrees
greater or less than the ambient air temperature on a cold engine, check
Sensor Checks
for high resistance in the coolant sensor circuit. Check the cam angle
sensor.
Check the Throttle Position (TPS) and Foot Pedal Position (FPP) sensor
connections.
Important: A closed LPG manual fuel shut off valve will create an extended
crank OR no start condition.
Verify the excess ow valve is not tripped or that the manual shut-off
valve is not closed.
Fuel System Checks
Check mixer assembly for proper installation and leakage.
Verify proper operation of the low pressure lock-off solenoid.
Verify proper operation of the EPR.
Check for air intake system leakage between the mixer and the throttle
body. Check the fuel system pressures. Refer to the Fuel System Diag-
nosis.
Note: LPG being a gaseous fuel requires higher secondary ignition system
voltages for the equivalent gasoline operating conditions.
Check for the proper ignition voltage output with J 26792 or the equiva-
lent.
Verify that the spark plugs are the correct type and properly gapped.
Important:
1. If the engine starts but then immediately stalls, check the cam angle sen-
sor.
2. Check for improper gap, debris or faulty connections.
34
HARD START
Checks Action
Important: The LPG Fuel system is more sensitive to intake manifold leak-
age than the gasoline fuel supply system.
35
CUTS OUT, MISSES
Checks Action
DEFINITION: A surging or jerking that follows engine speed, usually more pronounced as the engine load
increases, but normally felt below 1500 RPM. The exhaust has a steady spitting sound at idle, low speed,
or hard acceleration for the fuel starvation that can cause the engine to cut-out.
Preliminary Checks None
1. Start the engine.
2. Check for proper ignition output voltage with spark tester J 26792.
3. Check for a cylinder mis re.
4. Verify that the spark plugs are the correct type and properly gapped.

Insulation cracks.
Wear.
Ignition System Checks
Improper gap.
Burned electrodes.
Heavy deposits.
36
HESITATION, SAG, STUMBLE
Checks Action
DEFINITION: The engine has a momentary lack of response when putting it under load. The condition
can occur at any engine speed. The condition may cause the engine to stall if it’s severe enough.
Preliminary Checks None.
Check the fuel pressure. Refer to LPG Fuel System Diagnosis.
Check for low fuel pressure during a moderate or full throttle accelera-
tion. If the fuel pressure drops below speci cation, there is possibly a
faulty low pressure regulator or a restriction in the fuel system.
Fuel System Checks Check the TMAP sensor response and accuracy.
Check Shut-Off electrical connection.
Check the mixer air valve for sticking or binding.
Check the mixer assembly for proper installation and leakage. Check the
EPR.
Note: LPG being a gaseous fuel requires higher secondary ignition system
voltages for the equivalent gasoline operating conditions. If a problem is re-
ported on LPG and not gasoline, do not discount the possibility of a LPG only
ignition system failure and test the system accordingly.
Ignition System Checks
Check for the proper ignition voltage output with J 26792 or the equiva-
lent. Verify that the spark plugs are the correct type and properly
gapped.
Check for faulty spark plug wires.
Check for fouled spark plugs.
37
BACKFIRE
Checks Action
DEFINITION: The fuel ignites in the intake manifold, or in the exhaust system, making a loud popping
noise.
Preliminary Check None.
Important! LPG, being a gaseous fuel, requires higher secondary igni-
tion system voltages for the equivalent gasoline operating conditions.
The ignition system must be maintained in peak condition to prevent
back re.
Check for the proper ignition coil output voltage using the spark tester
J26792 or the equivalent.
Check the spark plug wires by connecting an ohmmeter to the ends of
each wire in question. If the meter reads over 30,000 ohms, replace the

PASSWORD LOGIN
Figure 1 shows the password dialog box, which is displayed when a software session begins.
Login can be accomplished in two ways.
1. Enter an “All S/N Password” which is a password applicable to all ECMs of a given original
equipment manufacture (OEM).
2. Enter a “Single S/N Password” and corresponding ECM serial number for a single ECM. A Sin-
gle Serial Number password is unique to a specific ECM serial number and permits authorized
service personnel to make changes or view information for a specific ECM.
3. In most instances the top “all” serial number boxes should be used for password entry. In this
case, do not check the single serial number box. Each password is a 16-character alpha-
numeric string specific to each Spectrum customer and determines which pages and variables
are visible through the software. Passwords are assigned by the OEM support group and may
change periodically. Check the “save password” box to automatically retain the password for fu-
ture use.
Note: The password is printed on the CD disk. If it does not have a password or you have questions
please contact the OEM.
Clear Password Button Erases the current password from the password field.
Paste Password Button Allows the user to copy a 16-character string from any word proces-
sor and paste the string in the password field.
Single Serial Number Access Checkbox Tells the software that the password is applicable for
single serial number access.
Serial Number Field Only applicable when Single Serial Number Access Checkbox is checked.
The entry field must be populated for the 6-digit serial number for which the Single Serial Num-
ber Access password applies (NOTE: Leading zeros included in the serial number are not
required).
Save Password and S/N Checkbox Retains the password, and serial number (if applicable) for
the next software session.
52
Should an invalid password be entered, the error prompt shown in figure (2) will be dis-
played and the software will not load. This prompt signifies the following:
If the Single S/N password entered is correct for the software but does not match the entered S/N
of the targeted ECM, the prompt in Figure 3 will be displayed.
53
Figure 4 shows the communication status if a valid software password is entered when attempting
to connect to an ECM with a different key. In this instance the software will load but will not con-
nect to the target (ECM).
In the event you receive this error message call your OEM support group for more information.

Raw Volts Page
The raw volts page displays the sensor inputs and outputs in a raw voltage format. This page is
most commonly used to check values in the diagnostic trouble shooting charts.
Service 1
58
The Service 1 screen is used to clear the adaptive learn, shows the MIL status and provides a dis-
play for rpm, coolant temperature and spark advance. It also provides a large display to monitor
the closed loop mixture control.
Tests Page
Provides diagnostic information voltages and sensor outputs and includes diagnostic engine tools
such as spark and injector kill controls. Please note that not all features are available for all appli-
cations. The disabled item menus are grayed out or rendered inoperative.
SPARK KILL
The spark kill mode allows the technician to disable the ignition on individual cylinders. If the
Spark Kill diagnostic mode is selected with the engine running below 1000 rpm, the minimum throt-
tle command will lock into the position it was in when the test mode was entered. If the Spark
System Test mode is selected with the engine running above 1000 rpm, the throttle will continue to
operate normally. Disabling Ignition Outputs to disable the ignition system for an individual cylin-
der, use the mouse to highlight the “Spark Kill” button and select the desired coil. The spark output
can be re-enabled by using the mouse to highlight the “Spark Kill” button and selecting “Normal.” If
the engine is running below 1000 rpm, the spark output will stay disabled for 15 seconds and then
re-set. If the engine is running above 1000 rpm, the spark output will stay disabled for 5 seconds
and then re-set. This test mode has a timeout of 10 minutes. Record the rpm drop related to each
spark output disabled. The spark outputs are arranged in the order which the engine fires, not by
cylinder number.
INJECTOR KILL
The Injector Kill mode is used to disable individual fuel injectors. If the Injector Kill mode is se-
lected with the engine running below 1000 rpm, the minimum throttle command will lock into the
position it was in when the test mode was entered. If the Injector Kill mode is selected with the
engine running above 1000 rpm, the throttle will continue to operate normally. To disable an in-
jector, use the mouse to select the desired injector. The word “Normal” will change to the
Injector you have selected. The injector driver can be re-enabled by selecting again. If the en-
gine is running below 1000 rpm, the injector driver will stay disabled for 15 seconds and then re-
59
set. If the engine is running above 1000 rpm, the injector driver will stay disabled for 5 seconds
and then re-set. Record the change in rpm while each driver is disabled.
The DBW (Drive by Wire) test mode allows the technician to control the throttle directly with the
foot pedal or throttle input and is used during the diagnostic routines specified for FPP and TPS
for Spectrum systems that use DBW control. FPP position displays the current position of the
foot pedal as a percentage. FPP volts display the voltage which the ECM is reading from the
FPP sensor. TPS Command displays the commanded throttle position expressed as a percent-
age, which is being sent to the throttle. TPS Position is the actual percent of throttle opening
being sent to the ECM from the throttle. TPS volts display the actual TPS signal voltage the
ECM is receiving from the throttle. To select this test mode the engine must be off and the key
must be in the ON position.
The external power test manually activates relays (relay power, fuel pump, and drive-by wire
power) controlled by the ECM while the engine is in the “Stopped” or “Running” states. Reverts
to normal operation if “Automatic” state is selected or ignition voltage is cycled from high to low.
Faults Page
Stores DTC codes that may have occurred in the past (Historic Faults) or current set codes (Active
Faults). Includes useful system voltages and sensor readings used while working with the fuel and
emission trouble shooting charts. Shows power derate mode status. To erase a historic DTC
code, double click on the code with the left mouse button. Then choose to “Clear All Faults.”

PLOT/LOG MENU FUNCTIONS
The Plot/Log menu allows the user to graphically plot or numerically log variables that have been
tagged for plotting/logging. To plot or log variables, a tag must be assigned to each variable of in-
terest. A variable is tagged for plotting/logging through a single right-mouse click in the variable’s
vicinity. Once a variable has been tagged for plotting/logging, it is highlighted in green.
Figure 5 shows an example of variables that have been tagged. A maximum of twenty (20) vari-
ables may be tagged for logging and a maximum of ten (10) variables may be tagged for plotting.
The maximum achievable sample frequency/minimum period is dependent on the number of vari-
ables tagged.

Select “Plot Tags” to open the snapshot window
Once the Plot Tags menu item has been selected, tagged variables are graphically plotted in a
strip chart interface. An example of a plot is shown in Figure 7. Capabilities of the plotter are out-
lined in Table 1.
Single Shot Acquisition When checked, this does not allow the plot to scroll past the ‘Time
Checkbox* Interval’ thereby preserving plotted data for post-processing.
Exclusive Serial Use When checked, this allows exclusive serial communication for the
Checkbox* plot variables. Other variables on the active page are not updated.

DST LOGGER
Another data capture function incorporated in the software is the DST logger. This tool serves as a
PC data logger for any variable available in the ECM through the interface software. Figure 9
shows the interface display for configuring the DST Log. The interface allows the user to create
the filename, set the sample rate for acquisition, set the time interval for sampling, and display the
progress of acquisition. A maximum of twenty (20) variables may be tagged for the log. The
amount of data stored is only limited by available PC RAM. The resulting text file may then be
viewed by any standard Windows text editor/reader program. To create a log file select the “Log
Tags” in the drop down menu as shown in figure 6.
The Fuel system has built-in diagnostics for system trouble shooting. The system has a dash
mounted malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) that provides indications of engine or fuel system related
problem. Most engine control system related problems that affect emissions or drivability of the ve-
hicle will set a (DTC) diagnostic trouble code and illuminate the MIL.
The MIL serves as notification to the operator of a problem related to the emission control system
so the driver can arrange for service as soon as possible. It will also display DTCs that have been
stored due to a system malfunction.
The MIL should illuminate when the key is in the ON position and the engine is not running. This
feature verifies that the lamp is in proper working order. If the MIL does not illuminate with the vehi-
cle key ON/engine OFF, repair it as soon as possible. Once the engine is in start or run mode, the
MIL should turn off. If the lamp remains on while the engine is in the start or run mode a diagnostic
trouble code may be set.
The MIL will be turned OFF after three (3) consecutive run cycles or by clearing the active code with
the Diagnostic Scan Tool (DST).
Diagnostic Trouble Codes are set when the Spectrum ECM (Electronic Control Module) runs a di-
agnostic self test and the test fails. When a DTC is set, the ECM will illuminate the MIL on the
instrument panel and also save the DTC in memory. The ECM will continue to run the self test. If
the system continues to fail the test, the lamp will stay illuminated and the DTC is stored as an ac-
tive DTC. If the self test runs and passes, the DTC will be stored as historic DTC. All DTCs are
stored as historic faults until they are cleared. Most DTCs will automatically clear from memory if
65
the DTC does not reset within 50 to 100 consecutive engine run cycles.
While a Diagnostic Trouble Code is current for a sensor, the ECM may assign a default “limp home”
value and use that value in its control algorithms. All of the system diagnostic self-tests run con-
tinuously during normal vehicle operation.
The Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be read by using either the MIL lamp or a laptop computer. Di-
agnostic Trouble Codes can be cleared from memory with a laptop computer, or by turning the
ignition key to the OFF position and removing the ECM power fuse or battery cable for at least 15
seconds.
If more than one DTC is detected, start the diagnostic repair with the lowest DTC number set. Di-
agnose each problem to correction unless directed to do otherwise by the diagnostic chart. The
DTCs are numbered in order of importance. Both DTC 112 and DTC122 pertain to the oxygen
sensor, so it is possible that a repair that corrects DTC 112 may also correct the problem causing
the DTC 122.
Diagnostic test charts contained in this manual refer to the DST to be connected and in the “System
Data Mode.” This simply means that the DST is connected and communicating with the PC. In
some instances the chart will call out a special test mode. An example of this would be instructions
for the DST to be connected and in the DBW (drive by wire) mode. Always be sure to follow the
special instructions to avoid a false diagnosis of fuel system components.
The ECM 5 volt reference circuit powers the Spectrum diagnostic link cable. In the event that the 5
volt reference signal is open or shorted to ground, you will not be able to connect to the system. If
you are unable to connect, follow the quick checks listed below:
Be sure you are using the correct password and latest software for the system you are connecting
to.
Check the ECM system power and ground circuits. Refer to DTC 562 for the power schematic.
Also check for +12 volts switched power at ECM pin 45 with the ignition key ON.
Check for power at the DLC connector for + 5 volts between pin 1 (BLK /LT GRN) and pin 2 (LT
GRN RED) with the ignition key in the ON position.
You may still be able to retrieve a code using the blink code function if none of the above recom-
mendations prove useful. In the event of a 5 volt reference signal malfunction, DTC 642 or DTC
643 should set. If you find one of these codes using the blink code function, follow the DTC diag-
nostic chart recommendations for that specific DTC.
66
BLINK CODE FUNCTION
Flashing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) using the blink code function is not available.
DTC’s will need to be pulled out of the ECM using the GCP Display software available from
the OEM or PSI.
67
Diagram 1
When using the DST program to clear a DTC, always select the “Clear All Faults” function to im-
mediately turn the MIL OFF after a successful repair (as shown in diagram 1 above).
INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
Intermittent fuel system problems can prove to be the most challenging to repair. It is most impor-
tant to remember when looking to find the cause of these problems, to operate the system in the
condition when and where the problem occurs. An example of this would be, if the DST showed a
lean fuel mixture at full load, one of the first things to look at would be the fuel pressure. The fuel
pressure would need to be monitored while the machine is operating at full load, not at idle be-
cause the leaning effect does not occur at idle. Electrical problems should be treated the same
way. One excellent tool for finding intermittent electrical problems is the DST plot/log function.
Set up the plot for the code that sets. An example of this would be if an intermittent IAT code set,
tag the IAT voltage and watch the plot. While watching the plot, agitate the electrical wire connec-
tion at the sensor and ECM connector. The resolution of the plot screen is such that you will be
able to see any unstable voltages that you would otherwise not see with a standard DVOM.
Caution should be used when pressure washing the under hood of any electrical system. Avoid
direct pressure spray on the system electrical connectors. They are splash proof, but if water is
sprayed directly at the connector moisture can become trapped behind the connector seal and
cause serious system problems.
Extra care must be taken when probing electrical pins and terminals. Do not bend or spread
these terminals as this can also be a source of intermittent problems cause by improper handling
of these connectors.

OBD System Check/MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
Circuit Description
The fuel system is equipped with OBD (On-Board Diagnostics). The system has a dash
mounted MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). The MIL serves as notification of an engine or
fuel system related problem. The MIL also has the ability to flash DTC codes in what is re-
ferred to as the blink code mode. It will display DTCs that have been stored due to a
possible system malfunction. The following DTC charts in this manual will instruct the tech-
nician to perform the OBD system check. This simply means to verify the operation of the
MIL. The lamp should illuminate when the key is in the ON position, and the engine is not
running. This feature verifies that the lamp is in proper working order. If the lamp does not il-
luminate with the vehicle key ON and engine OFF, repair it as soon as possible. Once the
engine is in start or run mode, the lamp should go off. If the lamp stays on while the engine
is in the start or run mode, a current diagnostic trouble code may be set or a problem may
exist with the MIL electrical wiring. The electrical schematic above shows the MIL power
source supplied to the lamp. The ECM completes the circuit to ground to turn the lamp ON.

DTC 107-MAP Low Voltage
Circuit Description
The Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor is a pressure transducer connected to the intake
manifold. It is used to measure the pressure of air in the manifold prior to induction. The
pressure reading is used in conjunction with other inputs to estimate the airflow rate to the
engine, which determines the fuel flow rate. This fault will set if the MAP voltage is less than
0.050 with TPS greater than 2% and engine RPM is less than 7000. The Adaptive Learn will
be disabled for the remainder of the key on cycle and the MIL command is on.

DTC 111-IAT Higher Than Expected 1
Circuit Description
The TMAP is a combined IAT (Intake Air Temperature) and MAP (Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure) sensor. A temperature sensitive resistor is used in the TMAP located in the air intake
manifold of the engine. It is used to monitor incoming air temperature, and the output in
conjunction with other sensors is used to determine the airflow to the engine. The ECM pro-
vides a voltage divider circuit so that when the air is cool, the signal reads higher voltage,
and lower when warm. This fault will set if the Intake Air Temperature is greater than 210
degrees F. with engine speed greater than 900 rpm.

DTC 116-ECT Higher Than Expected 1
Circuit Description
The ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor is a temperature sensitive resistor located in the engine coolant
sensor that is located in the coolant passage. The ECT is used for engine airflow calculation, fuel enrichment, and
ignition timing control and to enable certain other temperature dependant operations. This code set is designed to
help prevent engine damage from overheating. The ECM provides a voltage divider circuit so when the sensor
reading is cool the sensor reads higher voltage, and lower when warm. This fault will set when the coolant exceeds
220 degrees F. for more than 15 seconds. Power derate level one will be enforced during this fault limiting the maximum
throttle position to 50%.

DTC 127-IAT Higher Than Expected 2
Circuit Description
The TMAP is a combined IAT (Intake Air Temperature) and MAP (Manifold Absolute
Pressure) sensor. A temperature sensitive resistor is used in the TMAP located in the in-
take manifold of the engine. It is used to monitor incoming air temperature, and the
output in conjunction with other sensors is used to determine the airflow to the engine.
The ECM provides a voltage divider circuit so that when the air is cool, the signal reads
a higher voltage, and lower when warm. This fault will set if the intake air temperature is
greater than 230 degrees F. with engine speed greater than 900 rpm. The MIL light
command is on during this active fault and the engine will shut down.
115
DTC 127-IAT Higher Than Expected 2
Diagnostic Aid
This fault will set when inlet air is much hotter than normal. The most common cause
of high inlet air temperature is a problem with the inlet air system. Ensure that the air
inlet is not obstructed, modified or damaged.
Inspect the air inlet system for cracks or breaks that may allow unwanted under hood
air in to the air inlet system

DTC 221-TPS 1 Higher Than TPS 2
Circuit Description
Dual throttle Position Sensors are used within the throttle that use variable resistors to
determine signal voltage based on throttle plate position. TPS 1 will read lower voltage
when closed and TPS 2 will read higher voltage when closed. The TPS 1 and TPS 2
percentages are calculated from these voltages. Although the voltages are different, the
calculated values for the throttle position percentages should be very close to the same.
The TPS values are used by the ECM to determine if the throttle is opening as com-
manded. The TPS is not serviceable and in the event of a failure the electronic throttle
assembly must be replaced. This fault will set if TPS 1 is 20% (or more) higher than TPS
2. At this point the throttle is considered to be out of specification, or there is a problem
with the TPS signal circuit. The MIL command is ON and the engine will shutdown.

DTC 222-TPS 2 Signal Voltage Low
Circuit Description
Dual throttle Position Sensors are used within the throttle that use variable resistors to de-
termine signal voltage based on throttle plate position. TPS1 will read lower voltage when
closed and TPS2 will read higher voltage when closed. The TPS1 and TPS2 percentages
are calculated from these voltages. Although the voltages are different, the calculated val-
ues for the throttle position percentages should be very close to the same. The TPS values
are used by the ECM to determine if the throttle is opening as commanded. The TPS is not
serviceable and in the event of a failure the electronic throttle assembly must be replaced.
This fault will set if the TPS 2 voltage is less than 0.200 volts. The MIL command is ON.

damage can occur if the engine is operated with low oil pressure. The ECM sends a 5v signal to
the oil pressure sender. The sender will report a signal back to the ECM on the signal wire de-
pending on the pressure that is applied on its diaphragm. The voltage is linear in comparison to
the pressure applied (see chart below). The MIL command is ON and the engine will shut down

Check Condition-Key ON engine OFF
Fault Condition-ECM MIL circuit open
MIL Command-ON
Circuit Description
The fuel system is equipped with OBD (On-Board Diagnostics). The system has a dash
mounted MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). The MIL serves as notification of an emissions re-
lated problem. The MIL also has the ability to flash DTC codes in what is referred to as the
blink code mode. It will display DTCs that have been stored due to a possible system malfunc-
tion. The following DTC charts in this manual will instruct the technician to perform the OBD
system check. This simply means to verify the operation of the MIL. The lamp should illumi-
nate when the key is in the ON position, and the engine is not running. This feature verifies
that the lamp is in proper working order. If the lamp does not illuminate with the vehicle key
ON and engine OFF, repair it as soon as possible. Once the engine is in start or run mode,
the lamp should go off. If the lamp stays on while the engine is in the start or run mode, a cur-
rent diagnostic trouble code may be set or a problem may exist with the MIL electrical wiring.
The electrical schematic above shows the MIL power source supplied to the lamp. The ECM
completes the circuit to ground to turn the lamp ON. This fault will set if the ECM MIL control
circuit is open.

DTC 1151-Closed Loop Multiplier High LPG
Circuit description
The EGO sensor is used to determine if the fuel flow to the engine is correct by measuring the oxy-
gen content in the exhaust gas. The ECM uses this information to correct the fuel flow with the
Closed Loop multiplier and the adaptive multiplier. This fault sets if the Closed Loop multiplier ex-
ceeds the limits of normal operation and cannot correctly modify the fuel flow within its limits.
Diagnostic Aid
Oxygen Sensor Wire Heated Oxygen sensor wires may be mis-routed and contacting the exhaust manifold.
Vacuum Leaks Large vacuum leaks and crankcase leaks can cause a lean exhaust condition at especially
at light load.
Fuel Mixer System can be lean due to faulty EPR (Electronic Pressure Regulator) or faulty fuel mixer.
Fuel Pressure Low fuel pressure, faulty fuel regulator or contaminated fuel filter can cause fuel the system to
run lean
Exhaust Leaks If there is an exhaust leak, outside air can be pulled into the exhaust and past the 02 sensor
causing a false lean condition.
Fuel Quality Contaminated or spoiled fuel can cause the fuel system to be lean.

Diagnostic Aid
Fuel System High secondary fuel pressure will cause the system to run rich. A worn fuel mixer,
faulty EPR (Electronic Pressure Regulator) may also cause the system to run rich.
Fuel Quality A drastic variation in fuel quality (very high butane content) may cause the fuel sys-
tem to run rich. Be sure that the specified HD-5 or HD-10 fuel grade propane is used.
Air Filter A plugged, damaged or modified air filter may cause the system to run rich.

DTC1171-EPR Pressure Higher Than Expected
Circuit Description
The EPR (Electronic Pressure Regulator) unit measures and controls the amount of fuel that is able
to pass to the fuel mixer. This code will set in the event the actual pressure is 1.5 inches water pres-
sure higher than the actual commanded pressure. Adaptive learn is disabled and the MIL command is
ON during this fault. The engine will shutdown if this fault occurs.
Diagnostic Aid
Always run the fuel system diagnostic pressure check before proceeding with the following diagnostic
chart. High secondary fuel pressure due to a worn or damaged primary or secondary seat may cause
this fault to set

Circuit Description
The Spectrum Fuel system is equipped with OBD (On-Board Diagnostics). The system has a dash
mounted MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). The MIL serves as notification of an emissions related prob-
lem. The MIL also has the ability to flash DTC codes in what is referred to as the blink code mode. It will
display DTCs that have been stored due to a possible system malfunction. The following DTC charts in
this manual will instruct the technician to perform the OBD system check. This simply means to verify
the operation of the MIL. The lamp should illuminate when the key is in the ON position, and the engine
is not running. This feature verifies that the lamp is in proper working order. If the lamp does not illumi-
nate with the vehicle key ON and engine OFF, repair it as soon as possible. Once the engine is in start
or run mode, the lamp should go off. If the lamp stays on while the engine is in the start or run mode, a
current diagnostic trouble code may be set or a problem may exist with the MIL electrical wiring. The
electrical schematic above shows the MIL power source supplied to the lamp. The ECM completes the
circuit to ground to turn the lamp ON. This fault will set if the ECM MIL control is shorted to ground.

DTC 2111-Unable To Reach Lower TPS
Circuit Description
Dual throttle Position Sensors are used within the throttle that use variable resistors to determine sig-
nal voltage based on throttle plate position. TPS 1 will read low voltage when closed and TPS 2 will
read high voltage when closed. The TPS 1 and TPS 2 percentages are calculated from these volt-
ages. Although the voltages are different, the calculated values for the throttle position percentages
should be very close to the same. The TPS values are used by the ECM to determine if the throttle is
opening as commanded. This fault will set if the actual throttle position is 20% greater than the throttle
command. During this active fault the MIL command is ON and the engine will shutdown.
