Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. 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. 2. Listen for an audible click when the inadvertent power relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 3. Tests for voltage at the coil side of the inadvertent power relay. The CTSY fuse supplies power to the coil side of the inadvertent power relay.
  3. 4. Verifies that the body control module is providing ground to the inadvertent power relay.
  4. 5. Tests if a ground is constantly applied to the inadvertent power relay.
  5. 6. Since this is a general circuit malfunction code, it is necessary to test for both a short to voltage as well as an open on this circuit.
