Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2.

      No 

  2. ASD CONTROL OPERATION FROM THE PCM 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. With a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, back probe the (K51) ASD Control circuit in the PDC harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Using the scan tool in the PCM, actuate the ASD.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on an off?

      Yes 

        NOTE:

        Before continuing, check the PDC harness terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.

      • If OK, replace the PDC in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3.
  3. (K51) ASD CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Stop the ASD actuation.
    2. Ignition on, engine not running.
    3. Measure the voltage on the (K51) ASD Control circuit at the PDC harness.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (K51) ASD Control circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4.
  4. (K51) ASD CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (K51) ASD Control circuit from the PDC harness to the appropriate terminal of PCM harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5.

      No 

  5. (K51) ASD CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K51) ASD Control circuit in the PDC harness.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to ground in the (K51) ASD Control circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6.
  6. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the related PDC and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the PDC and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
    4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
