Test Procedure

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK . -- Was Complaint verified?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 2 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 2 . -- NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	IGNITION: OFF. DISCONNECT: Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271- from the Fuse Panel B -SB- in the engine compartment (refer to appropriate wiring diagram). IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271- socket terminals 2 and 6 to ground for voltage. IGNITION: OFF. SPECIFIED VALUE: Battery voltage. -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 3 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 3 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 6 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 6 .
3	REMOVE: Engine/Motor Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate service information. CONNECT: Jumper wire, between the Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271- socket terminals 2 and 8. IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Engine/Motor Control Module -J623- harness connector T94 / 3, T94 / 5, and T94 / 6 to ground for voltage. IGNITION: OFF. SPECIFIED VALUE: Battery voltage. -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 4 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 4 . -- NO: GO TO: Step 5 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 5 .
4	REMOVE: Jumper wire, between the Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271- socket terminals 2 and 8. CHECK: Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271- socket terminal 4 to the Engine/Motor Control Module -J623- harness connector T94 / 69 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271-. Refer to appropriate service information. GO TO: Step 6 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 6 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 6 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 6 .
5	REMOVE: Jumper wire, between the Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay -J271- socket terminals 2 and 8. REMOVE: Appropriate fuse (refer to appropriate wiring diagram for correct fuse). CHECK: Downstream (output) side of Appropriate fuse to the Engine/Motor Control Module -J623- harness connector T94 / 3, T94 / 5, and T94 / 6 for resistance (refer to appropriate wiring diagram for correct fuse). SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Fuse panel. Refer to appropriate service information. GO TO: Step 6 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 6 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 6 Motronic Engine Control Module Power Supply Relay - J271-, CHECKING - 6 .
