Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2002 Pontiac Bonneville, 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2002 Chevrolet Impala, and 2002 Buick Regal.

  1. Perform Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls, go to next step.
  2. Inspect fuse that supplies voltage to MIL. If fuse is open, go to step  10. If fuse is okay, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM. Turn ignition on, engine off. Connect a fused jumper wire (3-amp) between PCM connector C2 terminal No. 5 (Brown/White wire) and ground. Observe MIL. If MIL is on, go to step  9. If MIL is off, go to next step.
  4. If fuse in jumper wire opened, go to step  11. If fuse in jumper wire did not open, go to next step.
  5. Remove IPC. Check Brown/White wire between PCM and IPC for open. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  14. If problem was not found, go to next step.
  6. Using a test light connected to ground, probe MIL battery voltage circuit at IPC harness connector. See IPC TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION  table for IPC connector terminal identification. If test light is on, go to step  8. If test light is off, go to next step.
  7. Repair open in MIL ignition voltage circuit. See MIL IGNITION VOLTAGE FEED  table for ignition voltage wire color. After repairs, go to step  14.
  8. Check IPC connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  14. If problem was not found, go to step  12.
  9. Check PCM connectors for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  14. If problem was not found, go to step  13.
  10. Repair short to ground in MIL ignition voltage circuit. See MIL IGNITION VOLTAGE FEED  table for ignition voltage wire color. After repairs, go to step  14.
  11. Repair short to voltage in Brown/White wire between IPC and PCM. After repairs, go to step  14.
  12. Replace IPC. After repairs, go to step  14.
  13. Replace PCM. After repairs, go to next step.
  14. Operate system to verify repair.
