Power Circuits

  1. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage between ECM/PCM/VCM continuous power terminal(s) and ground. If battery voltage is not present, check for blown fuse or open fusible link. If okay, check for open in wire between ECM/PCM/VCM terminal and power source.
  2. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage between ECM/PCM/VCM ignition power terminals and ground. If battery voltage is not present, check IGN fuse. If fuse is okay, check for an open in wire between battery and ignition switch, and between ignition switch and ECM/PCM/VCM terminal. If okay, check for a defective ignition switch.
  3. Connect voltmeter between ground and ECM/PCM/VCM starter (crank) signal terminal. On vehicles with manual transmission/transaxle, depress clutch pedal. Turn ignition switch to START position. Battery voltage should be present ONLY when ignition switch is in START position.
  4. If voltage is not present, check CRANK fuse or fusible link between ignition switch and ECM/PCM/VCM terminal. If fuse or fusible link is okay, check for an open in wire between ignition switch and ECM/PCM/VCM terminal, or check for a defective ignition switch.
