  2. If battery voltage is not present, check appropriate fuses. Check ECM B+ fuses, FUEL INJ fuses and IGN COILS fuses in engine or passenger compartment fuse/relay boxes. Replace fuse(s) as necessary and check for cause of blown fuse. If fuses are okay, check EGI main relay. See RELAYS  under RELAYS & SOLENOIDS. If relay is okay, locate and repair open between main relay and ECM connector.
