Diagnostic Aids
| • | This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load
test and is completely charged. Refer to
Battery Inspection/Test
. |
| • | When disconnecting electrical connectors or removing fuses and relays
from a fuse block, always inspect the component electrical terminals for corrosion
and the mating electrical terminals for tightness. |
| • | Use the
Using Connector Test Adapters
for any test that requires probing the underhood fuse block terminals, component wire
harness terminals or the ECM wire harness connector terminals. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
- Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
- Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the EC ignition or main relay.
Important: The test lamp is used to load the circuit
and may not illuminate.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ supply circuit to the coil side of the main
relay and the negative terminal of the battery.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volts between the B+ voltage
circuit of the main relay and the positive battery terminal.
| ⇒ | If greater than 0.1 volts, repair the B+ voltage circuit to the coil
side of the main relay for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
Important: The test lamp is used to load the circuit
and may not illuminate.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ voltage supply circuit to the switch side
of the main relay and the negative terminal of the battery.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volts between the B+ voltage
circuit of the main relay and the positive battery terminal.
| ⇒ | If greater than 0.1 volts, repair the B+ voltage circuit to the
switch side of the main relay for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
- With the ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit
of the main relay and the B+ voltage supply circuit to the coil side of the main relay.
- Turn ON the ignition. The test lamp should turn ON when the ignition switch
is cycled ON and OFF when the ignition switch is cycled OFF.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp remains ON all the time, test for a short to ground on the
control circuit. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp remains OFF all the time, test for a short to voltage or an
open/high resistance on the control circuit. If circuit/connections test normal, replace
the ECM. |
Important: The ignition 1 voltage circuit is
between the main relay and the ECM. The ignition 1 voltage is a feedback circuit.
- Connect a 15A fusible link wire between the B+ supply voltage circuit and the
ignition 1 voltage circuit of the main relay.
- Attempt to start the engine. The engine should start.
| ⇒ | If the engine does not start, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit between
the main relay and the ECM for a short to ground or for an open/high resistance. If
the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM. |
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the main relay.
Component Testing
- Measure for 70-110 ohms of resistance between terminals 85
and 86 of the main relay.
| ⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the main relay. |
- Measure for infinite resistance between the following terminals of the
main relay:
| ⇒ | If continuity is detected, replace the main relay. |
- Connect a 20A fusible link wire from the positive terminal of the
battery to relay terminal 85. Connect a jumper wire from the negative terminal
of the battery to relay terminal 86. Measure for less than 2 ohms
between terminals 30 and 87 of the relay.
| ⇒ | If the resistance measures more than 2 ohms, replace the main
relay. |
