Test 6: Pcm Power Relay

PCM POWER RELAY

TEST 6 PCM POWER RELAY
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK VPWR CIRCUIT RESISTANCE
  • Disconnect idle air control (IAC) valve.
  • Disconnect WDS or equivalent tester from DLC.
  • Disconnect PCM power relay.
  • Measure resistance of VPWR circuit (W/R) between IAC valve connector 0140-116 and PCM Power Relay connector.
  • Is resistance less than 5.0 ohms? 
Yes RECONNECT IAC valve.
Go to next step.
No REPAIR open VPWR circuit (W/R) between the PCM Power Relay and the splice to the IAC valve.
RESTORE vehicle.

2 CHECK B+ AND IGN START/RUN VOLTAGE TO PCM POWER RELAY
  • Measure B+ circuit (B/Y) voltage at the PCM power relay connector.
  • Key ON, Engine OFF (KOEO).
  • Measure IGN START/RUM circuit (W/V) voltage at PCM Power Relay connector.
  • Are both voltages greater than 10.5 volts? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Key OFF.
REPAIR open in B+ (B/Y) or IGN START/RUN (W/V) circuit, verify condition of PCM diode.
RESTORE vehicle.

3 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT TO POWER RELAY
  • Measure voltage between B+ (B/Y) circuit and ground (B) circuit at PCM Power Relay connector.
  • Key OFF.
  • Was the voltage greater than 10.5 volts? 
Yes REPLACE PCM Power Relay.
RESTORE vehicle.
