See Figure . Battery voltage should be present in START position ONLY. Zero volts should be present in any other ignition switch position.
  2. If voltage is not as specified, check 7.5 amp fuse in fuse block. If fuse is okay, repair circuit between ECM and fuse block. If voltage is as specified, check ECM terminals, harness, and connector terminals for damage or corrosion. Repair as necessary.
