Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the DTC active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  2

      No 

  2. (T750) STARTER RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the Starter Relay.
    3. Disconnect the Starter Solenoid harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T750) Starter Relay Output circuit at the Starter Relay harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (T750) STARTER RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (T750) Starter Relay Output circuit from the Starter Relay terminal to the Starter Solenoid harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (T40) STARTER RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    1. Disconnect the C10 TIPM harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T40) Starter Relay Output circuit at the C10 TIPM harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (T40) STARTER RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (T40) Starter Relay Output circuit from the Starter Relay terminal to the C10 TIPM harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. STARTER RELAY 
    1. Install a known good Relay.
    2. Ignition on, engine not running.
    3. Clear the TIPM DTCs.
    4. Attempt to start the engine.

      Does the P127A reset?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  7

      No 

  7. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors.
    2. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
