Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 5:  This step verifies that the PCM is able to control the fuel injector.
  2. 6:  This step tests if a ground is constantly being applied to the fuel injector.
DTC P0200

Step Action Yes No

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Idle the engine at the normal operating temperature.
  3. Monitor the misfire current counters with a scan tool.
Are any of the misfire current counters incrementing?		 Go toStep 4  Go toStep 3

  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the 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?		 Go toStep 4  Go to Diagnostic Aids

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the injector which displays the highest number of misfire current counters.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Probe the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate?		 Go toStep 5  Go to Step 11 
5 
  1. Connect the J 34730-2C  Fuel Injector Test Lamp between the control circuit of the fuel injector and the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector.
  2. Start the engine.
Does the test lamp flash?		 Go to Step 9  Go toStep 6 
6  Does the test lamp remain illuminated? Go to Step 8  Go toStep 7 
7 Test the fuel injector control circuit for the following conditions:
  • A short to voltage
  • An open
  • High resistance

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 14  Go toStep 10 
8 Test the fuel injector control circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the fuel injector. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Repairing Connector Terminals in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 14  Go toStep 12 
10 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Repairing Connector Terminals in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
11
IMPORTANT: The INJ fuse also supplies voltage to the ignition coil modules. If the fuse is open, inspect all related circuits and components for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector for:
  • An open
  • High resistance
  • A short to ground
Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go toStep 14  -
12 Replace the fuel injector. Refer to Fuel Injector Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 14  -
13 Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 14  -

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the 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?		 Go to Step 2  Go to Step 15 
15 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?		 Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List System OK
