Trouble Shooting Hints

On all models, note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. 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 TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

Check 60-amp IGN SW fuse in right maxi-fuse block. Check 10-amp AIR BAG/VATS fuse in instrument panel fuse block. Refer to the COMPONENT LOCATIONS  table.
