Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 2:
This step determines if the condition that set the DTC still exists.
- 4:
This step tests for control circuit voltage from the PCM. Both the high control and the low control circuits should measure B+ voltage with the ignition ON and the engine OFF. If there is voltage on both circuits, the PCM and the PCM connections are OK. Do not start the engine or the PCM will default to no motor control and the test results will be invalid.
