DTC P1288: Short Runner Solenoid Circuit: Testing

  1. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read DTCs. If GOOD TRIP counter is displayed and equal to zero, go to next step. If GOOD TRIP counter is not displayed and equal to zero, go to step  8 .
  2. Turn ignition on. Disconnect SRV solenoid harness connector. SRV solenoid is located at right rear of engine compartment and has a 2-pin connector with a Orange/Dark Green wire and Gray/Pink wire. Turn ignition on. Connect a test light between SRV solenoid harness connector terminals. Using scan tool, actuate SRV solenoid and observe test light. If test light does not flash on and off, go to next step. If test light flashes on and off, replace SRV solenoid.
  3. Connect test light between ground and ASD relay output circuit (Orange/Dark Green wire) at SRV solenoid harness connector. Using scan tool, actuate SRV solenoid. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, repair open or short in ASD relay output circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  4. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors. See Figure . Measure resistance between SRV solenoid harness connector terminals. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to next step. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short between ASD relay output circuit and SRV solenoid control circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  5. Ensure ignition is off. Measure resistance between ground and SRV solenoid control circuit (Gray/Pink wire) at SRV solenoid harness connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to next step. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Gray/Pink wire.
  6. Measure resistance of SRV solenoid control circuit (Gray/Pink wire) between SRV solenoid harness connector and terminal No. 18 at PCM C1 harness connector. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Gray/Pink wire.
  7. If no other possible causes are remaining, PCM is assumed to be defective. Replace PCM.
  8. Conditions that set DTC are not present at this time. Perform the following to help identify intermittent condition:
    • With engine running at normal operating temperature, wiggle related wiring harness while monitoring related parameters on scan tool. If voltage changes or DTC sets while wiggling wiring harness, repair connectors or wiring harness where wiggling caused voltage to change or DTC to set.
    • Review freeze frame information on scan tool. Duplicate conditions present when DTC was set.
    • Refer to any technical service bulletins that may apply.
    • Visually inspect related wiring harness. Check for chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
    • Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors. Check for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.

    If a problem is found, repair as necessary. If no problems are found, test is complete.
