Trouble Shooting Hints

On all models, note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section. Check starter solenoid terminals and battery grounds. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment. Perform self-diagnostic system test, to be certain no trouble codes are stored in PCM memory which may lead to misdiagnosis. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES - 3.1L article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

Check 40-amp IGN MAIN 1 fuse in underhood electrical center. See COMPONENT LOCATION  table, for location. If fuse is open, check for a short to ground in Red wire between underhood electrical center connector C5, terminal "B" and ignition switch. Check for short in Yellow wire between ignition switch and transaxle range switch connector C1, terminal "G". Also check for short in Purple wire between transaxle range switch connector C1, terminal "E" and starter solenoid terminal "S".
