Checking System For Trouble Codes

NOTE: For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAMS - 2.5L V6 article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

NOTE: Battery must be fully charged before proceeding.

Battery must be fully charged before proceeding. Attempt to start engine. If engine will not start, crank engine for at least 10 seconds. Connect scan tool to engine diagnostic connector. Record scan tool trouble codes.
If scan tool has a blank screen or displays an error message, this indicates a scan tool failure. To diagnose and correct these conditions, see TESTS W/CODES - BODY CONTROL COMPUTER article in this section.
If scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, go to TEST NS-6A . If trouble codes are displayed, see TROUBLE CODES table. If no trouble codes are displayed and a driveability problem is present, go to TEST NTC-1A . If no trouble codes are displayed and a no-start problem is present, go to TEST NS-1A .

⁽¹⁾	- Refer to appropriate ALTERNATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.

⁽²⁾	- Refer to appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.

⁽³⁾	- Replace Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and perform TEST VER-2.

⁽⁴⁾	- If engine temperature does not reach 176°F (80°C) after 20 minutes of driving, check cooling system. This code may also set in error during very cold slow speed driving.
