1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? Go to Step 2  Go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - VEHICLE
2
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 90 seconds.
    IMPORTANT: Some failure modes of this diagnostic only run at Ignition ON.
  3. Turn ON the ignition for 90 seconds.
  4. Start the engine.
  5. 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 3  Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Remove the underhood fuse block cover.
  3. Remove and inspect the EMISS fuse.
Is the fuse open?
Go to Step 12  Go to Step 4 
4 Probe both terminals of the EMISS fuse bus bar in the underhood fuse block with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate when touching one of the terminals?
Go to Step 5  Go to Powertrain Relay Diagnosis
5
  1. Install the EMISS fuse.
  2. Remove the supercharger (SC) intercooler pump relay.
  3. Test for an intermittent and for poor connections at the underhood fuse block. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 16  Go to Step 6 
6 Probe the SC intercooler pump relay coil ignition 1 voltage supply circuit terminal in the fuse block with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 7  Go to Step 13 
7
IMPORTANT: With the ignition ON, and the engine OFF, the SC intercooler pump relay coil control circuit is not commanded ON.
Probe the SC intercooler pump relay coil control circuit terminal in the fuse block with a test lamp connected to battery positive voltage.Does the test lamp illuminate?
Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
8
  1. Probe the SC intercooler pump relay coil control circuit terminal in the fuse block with a test lamp connected to battery positive voltage.
  2. Select the Intercooler Pump in the Engine Output Controls on the scan tool.
  3. Command the relay ON and OFF.
Does the test lamp blink ON and OFF with each command?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 10 
9 Test the SC intercooler pump relay coil control circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 16  Go to Step 11 
10 Test the SC intercooler pump relay coil control circuit for a short to voltage or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 16  Go to Step 11 
11 Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15 
12
IMPORTANT: The ignition 1 voltage circuit is spliced to other components of the vehicle.
Test the spliced ignition 1 voltage circuits and components for a short to ground. Refer to the following procedures:Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 16  -
13 Repair the high resistance or an open in the SC intercooler pump relay coil ignition 1 voltage supply circuit.
Did you complete the repair?
Go to Step 16  -
14 Replace the SC intercooler pump relay.
Did you complete the replacement?
Go to Step 16  -
15 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
Go to Step 16  -

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 90 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 17 
17 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
