Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition ON, observe the Ignition 1 Signal and EC Ignition Relay Feedback scan tool parameters to determine which is less than B+.
  2. Ignition OFF, remove the relay that corresponds to the scan tool parameter that is less than B+.
  3. IMPORTANT: Six ohms or greater in the circuit/underhood fuse block will cause the DTC to set.
  4. Ignition ON, connect a 3A fused jumper wire between B+ and the applicable ignition 1 circuit terminal. Verify that the applicable scan tool parameter displays B+.
    • If the applicable scan tool parameter is less than the specified value, test the ignition 1 circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. IMPORTANT: A short to battery voltage on any control circuit may keep the ECM powered up.
  6. Ignition OFF, ensure the ECM is powered down. Measure for battery voltage between the relay armature supply circuit and ground. There should be no voltage present.
    • If voltage is present test each control circuit for the components which are supplied by the powertrain relay for a short to B+.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the applicable relay/underhood fuse block.
