Code 14 (PRIZM) -: Notes

Igniter receives 5 volts from ECM. Igniter processes voltage then returns voltage to ECM as a ignition fail-safe signal. ECM also receives a .7 volt ignition signal when starter is being cranked. ECM uses these signals to pulse injectors. Code 14 will set if ignition fail-safe signal is not present 4 successive times during cranking.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. Checks for 5-volt signal from ECM.
  2. Verifies .10-2 volt signal from ECM.
  3. Checks for power to distributor.
  4. Checks for open in Black/Orange wire between junction block No. 1 and distributor or a faulty junction block No. 1.
  5. Checks for open in power feed to igniter, or a faulty ignition coil or igniter.
  6. Checks for open in Red/Black or Black/Orange wires to ignition switch and a faulty ignition switch.
