The IGN relay powers the following components:
• | Injectors/Ignition coils |
• | AIR relay |
The following may cause an intermittent:
• | Poor connections. Check for adequate terminal tension. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems. |
• | Corrosion |
• | Mis-routed harness. |
• | Rubbed through wire insulation. |
• | Broken wire inside the insulation. |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
Refer to Thumbnail Schematic for proper relay terminal identification.
This step is testing the relay ground circuit. For any test that requires probing the PCM or a component harness connector, use the Connector Test Adapter Kit J 35616 . Using this kit prevents damage to the harness connector terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Wiring Systems.
This step isolates the circuit from the IGN relay. All of the circuits at the relay are good if the test lamp illuminates.
The open circuit will be between the splice and the IGN relay.
Remove the underhood electrical center cover and inspect the circuits that are supplied a voltage by the IGN relay.
