When the ignition switch is placed in the start position, a discrete signal is supplied to the body control module (BCM) notifying it that the ignition is in the start position. The BCM then sends a message to the engine control module (ECM) that crank has been requested. The ECM then verifies that the transmission is in park or neutral. If it is, the ECM then supplies 12 volts to the control circuit of the CRNK relay. When this occurs, battery voltage is supplied through the switch of the crank relay to terminal A X1 of the starter solenoid. The ECM monitors the voltage on the CRNK relay control circuit. If the voltage is not what is expected, then DTC P0615 sets.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The system voltage is between 9.5-18 volts. |
The ECM detects improper voltage on the control circuit of the CRNK relay.
DTC P0615 is a type C DTC.
DTC P0615 is a type C DTC.
Inspect ground connection G105. Verify that it is clean and tight.

Observe the scan tool ECM Starter Relay Circuit Test Status parameters. Verify that the scan tool does not display any circuit faults.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
