Trouble Shooting Hints

Note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously troubleshoot anti-theft system. 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 - 2.2L or TESTS W/CODES - 4.3L article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

Check Black fusible link located at generator, Blue fusible link located at battery and Black fusible link located at battery junction block. Check 10-amp CRANK No. 20 fuse, located in instrument panel fuse block. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS  table.
