Weird VREF issue?

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Well, first off I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

 

And secondly I have a truck that came in late with a weird issue of an occasional engine stutter. Its a 1999 F350 manual trans, Just had enough time to hook up the scan tool and check codes and watch a few pids and when it stutters, the VREF will jump to about 65V, haven't verified the voltage with a scope yet tho, and the ICPV and RPM signals will either drop to zero or max out when the VREF jumps. I just haven't seen a truck do this yet and wondering if anyone else has come across this or something similar.

 

A quick exam of the harness doesn't show any visual problems, and I am leaning towards either a harness issue, or don't know if the IDM can be having problems inside sending out stray voltage.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated, and i'll keep updating when I get back to working on that truck, got a few others that got bumped ahead in the mean time.
