Qualifying No Start Condition

NOTE: After each repair, perform TEST VER-1  .
CAUTION: When checking for spark, powertrain control module damage may occur if spark plug cable is held more than 1/4" away from a good ground.
  1. Attempt to crank engine. If engine will not crank, go to TEST NS-9A  . If engine cranks, turn ignition off. Disconnect any spark plug cable at spark plug. Insert an insulated screwdriver in spark plug cable terminal. Hold screwdriver within 1/4" of good ground. Go to next step.
    NOTE: When checking for spark, consider 1-2 sparks as a no-spark condition.
  2. While cranking engine for 10 seconds, observe for spark. If a good spark occurs, go to TEST NS-2A. If a good spark does not occur, reconnect spark plug cable. Disconnect another spark plug cable at spark plug, and repeat test. Go to next step.
  3. If a good spark occurs, replace spark plug cable that is initially used to test for spark. Go to TEST NS-2A. If a good spark does not occur, disconnect ignition coil connector. Inspect all terminals. Repair as required. If terminals are okay, go to next step.
  4. Using scan tool, actuate fuel system. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on ignition coil connector terminal No. 4 (Dark Green/Orange wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, turn ignition off and replace ignition coil. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
  5. Using scan tool, stop fuel system actuation. Using scan tool, actuate Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay. If ASD relay does not click, go to step 7). If ASD relay clicks, stop ASD relay actuation. Go to next step.
  6. Remove ASD relay. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Dark Green/Orange wire between ignition coil connector terminal No. 4 and ASD relay connector terminal "D". If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace ASD relay. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Dark Green/Orange wire.
  7. If ASD relay does not click in step 5), remove ASD relay. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage of ASD relay connector terminal "A" (Dark Blue/White wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Dark Blue/White wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
  8. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance between ASD relay terminals No. 85 and No. 86. See Figure . If resistance is more than 100 ohms, replace ASD relay. If resistance is less than 100 ohms, repair open Dark Blue/Yellow wire.
