      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  7. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  8. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & Ground
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  10. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  11. Test or replace the component: S126 Drive Mode Select Switch
  12. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

    Verify the DTC does not set.

    • If the DTC sets 

      Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module

    • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set 
  13. All OK.
