Circuit/System Testing

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Test the MIL control circuit for a short to voltage or a short to ground, or a faulty ECM.
  3. Disconnect the engine control module (ECM).
    • If the MIL is still ON, test the MIL control circuit for a short to ground.
    • If the MIL control circuit tested OK and the MIL stayed ON, replace the IPC.
    • If the MIL control circuit tested OK and the MIL went out when the ECM was disconnected, replace the ECM.
  4. Measure for 12 volts from the MIL ignition voltage circuit in the IPC harness connector to a ground
    • If there is less than 12 volts, test the MIL ignition voltage circuit for an open, or a short to ground, and an open fuse.
  5. Remove the fuse that supplies voltage to the MIL.
  6. Measure for less than 1 volt from the MIL control circuit in the ECM harness connector to a good ground.
    • If there is more than 1 volt, test the MIL control circuit for a short to voltage.
  7. Install the fuse that supplies voltage to the MIL.
  8. The MIL should illuminate with a 3-amp fused jumper wire connected between the MIL control circuit in the ECM harness connector and a good ground.
    • If the MIL does not illuminate, test the MIL control circuit for an open or high resistance.
    • If the MIL control circuit tests OK, replace the IPC.
    • If the MIL does illuminate, but does not when commanded ON with a scan tool, replace the ECM.
