Diagnostic Procedures
- Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. See CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING DTC . You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Turn ignition off. Remove the air cleaner outlet resonator. Disconnect the fuel injector. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Probe the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector with a test light that is connected to a good ground. Does the test light illuminate? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 10.
- Connect the Injector Test Light (J 34730-405) between the control circuit and the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector. Start engine. Does the test light flash? If yes, go to step 8. If no, go to next step.
- Does the test light remain illuminated at all times? If yes, go to step 7. If no, go to next step.
- Test the control circuit of the fuel injector for an open and for a short to voltage. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 13. If no, go to step 9.
- Test the control circuit of the fuel injector for a short to ground. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 13. If no, go to step 12.
- Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the fuel injector. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 13. If no, go to step 11.
- Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the PCM. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 13. If no, go to step 12.
- Repair open or short to ground in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector. Replace the fuse as necessary. After repairs, go to step 13.
- Replace the affected fuel injector. After replacement, go to step 13.
- Replace PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - SATURN "L" SERIES article. Perform PCM relearn procedure. See PCM REPROGRAMMING under PROGRAMMING. After replacing PCM, go to next step.
- Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. See CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING DTC . You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition? If yes, go to step 2. If no, go to next step.
- Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed? If yes, go to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no, system is okay.
