Ground Circuits

  1. Turn ignition off. Locate PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE LOCATION table. Using a DVOM, check continuity between ground and PCM connector pins. See IDENTIFYING PCM GROUND PINS. See Figure. If continuity does not exist, repair open ground circuit as necessary. If continuity exists, go to next step.
