Diagnostic Test

  1. ASD RELAY OPERATION 
    NOTE: The DTC must not be active for the actuator test to operate properly, clear all DTC before continuing.
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, actuate the ASD Relay.

      Is the ASD Relay operating?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  2
  2. (A14) FUSED B+ CIRCUITS

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the ASD Relay.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A14) Fused B+ circuits in the ASD harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. ASD RELAY 
    1. Measure the resistance of the ASD Relay Coil.

      Is the resistance between 60 to 80 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. (K334) ASD RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
      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 PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (K334) ASD Relay Control circuit from the ASD harness connector to the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (K334) ASD RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K334) ASD Relay Control circuit in the ASD harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. PCM 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
