Code and Description    Conditions which Generate this Code    System Response    
535-8 Exhaust Temperature Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period     The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a signal voltage that is above normal.
The ECM detects a sensor frequency that is greater than 600 Hz or less than 400 Hz.
The ECM detects a duty cycle that is greater than 88 percent or a duty cycle that is less than 22 percent.     The code is logged.
The ECM flags the exhaust temperature as invalid data.    System OperationA Pulse Width Modulated Sensor (PWM) provides a signal to the ECM from the exhaust temperature sensor. The sensor receives a 8.0 0.4 VDC regulated voltage from the primary ECM.The sensor generates a PWM signal that is in a specific range of duty cycle that is sent to the ECM. This range is directly related to the temperature that is sampled by the temperature probe. When the temperature of the sensor probe is 50 °C (122 °F) the duty cycle output of the sensor is 22 percent. When the temperature of the sensor probe is 850 °C (1550 °F) the duty cycle output of the sensor is 88 percent. As the temperature of the probe fluctuates between the minimum and the maximum temperatures, the duty cycle fluctuates on a scale that is directly related to the temperature of the temperature probe.The ECM performs an automatic calibration of this sensor whenever the ECM is powered and the engine has been off for at least five seconds.The ECM provides short circuit protection for the internal power supply. A short circuit to the battery will not damage the internal power supply of the ECM.

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector and the customer connector that are associated with the circuit.
Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points.Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted, and the harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The connectors and wiring appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - The connectors and/or wiring are not OK.Repair: Repair the connectors or wiring and/or replace the connectors or wiring.STOPTest Step 2. Check the Supply Voltage at the Sensor
Disconnect the exhaust temperature sensor at the harness connector.
Restore electrical power to the ECM. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage across terminal A (digital sensor supply) and terminal B (digital return) on the harness side of the connector.
Remove electrical power from the ECM. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Restore the wiring to the original configuration.Expected Result:The supply voltage measures 8.0 0.4 VDC at the sensor connector.Results:
OK - The correct supply voltage is measured at the sensor connector. The sensor is receiving the correct supply voltage. Proceed to Test Step 3.
Not OK - The voltage is not correct at the sensor connector.Repair: There is a problem in the circuit for the digital sensor supply that is between the ECM and the exhaust temperature sensor. Repair the circuit. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Supply - Test" for details that are related to troubleshooting a problem with the circuit.STOPTest Step 3. Check the Signal Frequency and the Duty Cycle at the Sensor
Disconnect the sensor connector from the exhaust temperature sensor.
Remove the signal wire from terminal C of the harness side of the connector for the exhaust temperature sensor.
Install a 7X-6370 Adapter Cable As (3-PIN BREAKOUT) at the sensor connector.
Connect the sensor to the breakout harness.
Restore electrical power to the ECM. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Measure the frequency and the duty cycle between terminal B (digital return) and terminal C (exhaust temperature) at the 7X-6370 Adapter Cable As (3-PIN BREAKOUT).
Remove electrical power from the ECM. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Remove the breakout harness. Restore the wiring to the original configuration.Expected Result:The frequency is between 400 and 600 Hz. The duty cycle is between 22 and 88 percent.Note: When the temperature of the sensor probe is 50 °C (122 °F) the duty cycle output of the sensor is 22 percent. When the temperature of the sensor probe is 850 °C (1550 °F) the duty cycle output of the sensor is 88 percent.Results:
OK - The frequency and the duty cycle are within specifications. The sensor is producing a valid signal. Proceed to Test Step 4.
Not OK - The frequency and the duty cycle are not within specifications.Repair: The sensor is not producing a valid signal. Replace the exhaust temperature sensor. Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.STOPTest Step 4. Check the Signal Frequency and the Duty Cycle at the ECM
Remove the signal wire of the suspect sensor from the P2 ECM connector in order to isolate the circuit. Refer to illustration 1 for the number of theP2 terminal of the suspect sensor.
Restore electrical power to the ECM. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Install a 7X-1709 Multimeter Probe (BLACK) into terminal location P2-92 (digital return) at the ECM connector.Note: Ensure that the multimeter probe is in good repair. A bent probe may contact other terminals inside the connector.
Measure the duty cycle and the frequency between the loose wire and the multimeter probe at the
