Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, remove the appropriate relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal 86 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
- Verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the relay control circuit terminal 85 and B+.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Test for less than 1 V between the relay coil control circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a DMM set to the diode setting between the control circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- Command the appropriate relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from 2.5-3.5 V when commanded OFF to less than 1 V when commanded ON.
- If the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate relay.
