Trouble Shooting Hints
On all models, note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM 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 appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section:
- TESTS W/CODES - 3.8L
- TESTS W/CODES - 5.7L
Check 15-amp STRTR mini-fuse. Check 50-amp IGN maxi-fuse. Check for the presence of DTC code P1626 (theft deterrent system fuel enable circuit).
