Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 8
No
- Repair (K237) SRV Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (K237) SRV signal circuit between the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector and the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor.
