1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K13) Injector 3 Control circuit at the Fuel Injector 3 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4.
  No
  - Repair the (K13) Injector 3 Control circuit for a short to ground.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE and perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION.

FUEL INJECTOR 3 CIRCUIT RESISTANCE

Turn the ignition off.

Measure the resistance of the Fuel Injector 3 circuit between the ASD Relay Output terminal and the PCM C2 harness connector.

NOTE:

The resistance of the circuit will vary according to the temperature of the injector coil. Use the table below to determine the resistance range of the injector.

Fuel Injector Coil Resistance Based on Engine Temperature
Temperature	Resistance
-20° C (-4° F)	10 Ohms (+/-.6 Ohm)
20° C (68° F)	12 Ohms (+/-.6 Ohm)
60° C (140° F)	14 Ohms (+/-.6 Ohm)
100° C (212° F)	16 Ohms (+/-.6 Ohm)

Is the resistance of the injector within the specified range?

Yes

Go To 9.

Go To 5.

FUEL INJECTOR 3 WIRING AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Verify that the connector is properly connected to the injector.
3. Disconnect the Fuel Injector 3 connector and inspect the wiring and terminals for any condition that would result in a poor connection.
4. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
5. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE and perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION.
  No
  - Go To 6.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 harness connector.
3. Install the ASD Relay.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, actuate the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay Control State.
6. Using a 12 volt test light connected to ground, check the (F342) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit in the Fuel Injector 3 harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Is the test light illuminated and bright?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 7.
  No
  - Repair the (F342) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE and perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION.
