Is there continuity?
YES -Repair short in the wire between the PCM (E21) and starter cut relay 1 or starter cut relay 2, then go to step 9.
NO -Go to step 14.
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the PCM with the HDS.
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P16BF indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at starter cut relay 1, starter cut relay 2, and the PCM, then go to step 1.
NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P16BF indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at starter relay 1, starter relay 2, and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO -If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
