1. Measure the resistance of the (K31) Fuel Lift Pump Control circuit between the PCM C2 harness connector and the TIPM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K31) Fuel Lift Pump Control circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 4.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
1. Reconnect the PCM C2 and TIPM C6 harness connectors.
2. Using a back probing tool, back probe the (K31) Fuel Lift Pump Control circuit at the TIPM C6 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool toggle the Fuel Lift Pump actuator.
5. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 Volts, probe the (K31) Fuel Lift Pump Control circuit at the TIPM C6 harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Does the test light cycle on and off brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
