    2. No: GO to .
  2. CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE
    1. Turn off all interior/exterior lights and accessories.
    2. Start and run the engine at approximately 2, 000 RPM for 3 minutes while monitoring the battery voltage.

    Does the battery voltage rise to 15.5 volts or higher? 

    1. Yes: REFER to DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE A : System Voltage High.
    2. No: GO to .

    3. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    4. Reconnect all the LTM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    5. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present?
