PDM Ground Circuit Inspection

■ Check short at ground terminal of PDM 

  1. IG "ON" & ENG "OFF".
  2. Measure voltage between ESCL ground terminal of PDM and chassis ground.

    (Measure the voltage while ESCL doesn't work.)

    Specification:  Approx. 0 V

  3. Is the measured voltage within specifications?

    YES 

    • Go to next procedure.

    NO 

■ Check short to power on ESCL GND circuit 

  1. IG "ON" & ENG "OFF"
  2. Disconnect the connectors of IPM, PDM, ESCL.
  3. Measure voltage between ESCL ground terminal and chassis ground.

    Specification:  Approx. 0 V

  4. Is the measured voltage within specifications?

    YES 

    • Substitute with a known - good ESCL and check for proper operation.

      If the problem is corrected, replace the unit and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
