- Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel injector. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Probe the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector with a test light connected to a good ground. Does the test light illuminate? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 10 .
- Connect Injector Test Light (J-34730-405) between the control circuit and 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 test light remains illuminated at all times? If yes, go to step 7 . If no, go to next step.

- 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 fuse as necessary. After repairs, go to step 13 .
- Replace affected fuel injector. After replacing fuel injector, go to step 13 .
- Replace PCM. After replacing PCM, go to next step.
- Use scan tool in order to clear the DTCs. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. See CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING DTC . Does the DTC run and pass? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 2 .
- With a scan tool, observe the stored information, Capture Info. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? If yes, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no, system is okay.
