The cylinder deactivation system is used to deactivate 4 cylinders of the engine under light load driving conditions. The engine control module

(ECM) commands the cylinder deactivation solenoids ON to deactivate engine cylinders 1, 7, 6, and 4, switching to 4 cylinders or V4 mode. The

cylinder deactivation solenoids controls the oil flow to the appropriate valve lifters. The engine operates on 8 cylinders or V8 mode, during engine

starting, engine idling, and medium to heavy throttle conditions.

Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the 4 cylinder deactivation solenoids. The engine control module (ECM) controls the 4 cylinder deactivation

solenoids by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver.

The Cylinder Deactivation System Performance diagnostic is a test of the internal mechanical condition of the engine, during operation in V4 mode.

The engine control module (ECM) determines the internal mechanical condition of the engine through the actual measured values of the mass

airflow (MAF) sensor, the intake manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, and the throttle position sensor. The actual measured values of the 3

sensors are then compared to the calculated values for V4 mode, stored in the ECM. If the measured values are incorrect for V4 mode, the ECM

will set DTC P3400, and will return to V8 mode operation.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* DTCs P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0119, P0335, and P0336 are not set.

* The engine speed is between 450-6,400 RPM.

* The IAT Sensor parameter is between -7 and +125掳C (+19 and +257掳F).

* The ECT Sensor parameter is between 70- 125掳C (158-257掳F).

* The time in V8 mode is more than 2 seconds.

* The time in V4 mode is more than 2 seconds.

* This DTC runs continuously within the enabling conditions.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the actual measured values from the MAF sensor, MAP sensor, and TP sensor is not within the range of the calculated values

for V4 mode.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P3400 is a Type B DTC.

* The engine will return to V8 mode.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P3400 is a Type B DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

* This DTC will not set during engine idling conditions. The vehicle will need to be driven for the DTC to set.

* The valve lifter oil manifold solenoids are assigned to the following engine cylinders:

- Solenoid #1 = Cylinder #1

- Solenoid #2 = Cylinder #4

- Solenoid #3 = Cylinder #6

- Solenoid #4 = Cylinder #7
