DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - CHECKING PCM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS
| TEST | ACTION | APPLICABILITY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
NOTE:
The battery must be fully charged before continuing. Turn the ignition off.Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A14) PCM Fused B+ circuit in the Pinout Box.Does the test light illuminate brightly?Yes --> Go To 2No --> Repair the (A14) Fused B+ circuit.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 . |

| 3 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS. Using a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (Z12) PCM ground circuits in the Pinout Box. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes --> Test Complete. No --> Repair the (Z12) PCM ground circuits. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 . |
