Circuit/System Testing

  1. Observe the DTCs with the scan tool.
  2. If DTC P1336 00 is set, attempt to program the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM) before replacing the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to Engine Control Module Programming and Setup.
  3. Test the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM) voltage circuits at ECM terminal 21, 50 (X1) and terminal 2, 4, 6 (X2) and test the ground circuits at ECM terminal 20, 35 (X1) and terminal 1, 3, 5 (X2) for the following:
  4. • A short
    • An open
    • High resistance
         ⇒If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to Engine Control Module Replacement.
