    Turn the ignition off.

    Measure the resistance of the Fuel Injector 7 circuit between the ASD Relay connector and the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    NOTE: The resistance of the circuit will vary according to the temperature of the injector coil. Use the table below to determine the resistance range of the injector.
    Fuel Injector Coil Resistance Based on Engine Temperature 
    Temperature  Resistance 
    -20°C (-4°F) 10 ohms (+/-.6 ohms)
    20°C (68°F) 12 ohms (+/-.6 ohms)
    60°C (140°F) 14 ohms (+/-.6 ohms)
    100°C (212°F) 16 ohms (+/-.6 ohms)

    Is the resistance of the injector within the specified range? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  9).

    No 

    1. Go to  5).
  5. 5) FUEL INJECTOR 7 WIRING AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Verify that the connector is properly connected to the injector.

    Disconnect the Fuel Injector 7 connector and inspect the wiring and terminals for any condition that would result in a poor connection.

    Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.

    Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.

    Were any problems found? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair as necessary.
    2. Perform *PCM VERIFICATION TEST . .

    No 

    1. Go to  6).

    Turn the ignition off.

    Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.

    Install the ASD Relay.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, actuate the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay Control State.

    Using a 12 volt test light connected to ground, check the (K343) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit in the Fuel Injector 7 harness connector.

    NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
