Test FC-1A - Checking System For Fault Codes

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS at the end of this article.

NOTE: Battery must be fully charged before proceeding.

Attempt to start engine. If necessary, crank engine for up to 10 seconds. Connect DRB-II to data link connector. Record DRB-II fault messages. If DRB-II screen displays NO RESPONSE, go to TEST NS-6A.
If DRB-II has a blank screen or displays RAM TEST FAILURE, CARTRIDGE ERROR, KEY PAD TEST FAILURE, or LOW OR HIGH BATTERY, this indicates a DRB-II failure. To diagnose and correct these conditions, see see TESTS W/CODES - 3.3L/3.5L article.
If fault messages are displayed, refer to fault code list. See DTC & DRB-II FAULT MESSAGES table. If DRB-II does not display any fault messages, refer to one of the following: for driveability problems, go to TEST NF-1A. For no-start problems, go to TEST NS-1A.

⁽¹⁾	If engine temperature does not reach 176°F (80°C) after driving 20 minutes, check cooling system. Fault may also set in error during very cold slow speed driving.

⁽²⁾	Replace Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.

⁽³⁾	Refer to appropriate ALTERNATORS & REGULATORS article in the ELECTRICAL Section.

⁽⁴⁾	Refer to appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT Section.
