Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. (K51) ASD CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Stop the ASD actuation.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.
    4. Remove the ASD Relay from the TIPM.
    5. Ignition on, engine not running.
    6. Measure the voltage on the (K51) ASD Control circuit at ASD Relay terminal connector in the TIPM.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. ASD RELAY OPERATION 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Reconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Using the scan tool in the PCM, actuate the ASD.
    5. With a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (K51) ASD Control circuit relay terminal in the TIPM harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. ASD CONTROL OPERATION FROM THE PCM

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the C6 TIPM harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Using the scan tool in the PCM, actuate the ASD.
    5. With a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (K51) ASD Control circuit in the C6 TIPM harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off?

      Yes 

        NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
      • If OK, replace the TIPM in accordance with the Service Information.

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (K51) ASD CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.
      CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (K51) ASD Control circuit from the TIPM harness connector to the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. (K51) ASD CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 3: Measuring Resistance Between Ground And ASD Control Circuit At C2 TIPM Harness Connector

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K51) ASD Control circuit at the C2 TIPM harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  7
  7. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the related TIPM and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the TIPM and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
    4. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
