Ether Injection Control Solenoid
Ether Injection Control Solenoid
Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot the ether system or use this procedure if a
diagnostic code in Table 1 is active or logged.
Table 1
The ether injection system improves cold weather starting of the engine. The ECM controls
the ether injection system. The ether injection system is enabled when all of the following
conditions occur:
The intake manifold air temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F) or the engine coolant
temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F).
Engine speed is greater than 0 rpm and less than 50 rpm below the low idle speed.
No diagnostic codes are active for both the engine coolant temperature sensor and for
the intake manifold air temperature sensor.
