P0616 Or P0617

  1. D1 CHECK THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) STARTER RELAY CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect PCM C1381B  .
    • Disconnect BJB  starter relay.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1381B-43  VOLTAGE Ground
      C1381B-62  VOLTAGE Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes  : REPAIR the affected circuit.
    • No  : GO to D2 
  2. D2 CHECK THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) STARTER RELAY CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1381B-43  OHM Ground
      C1381B-62  OHM Ground

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to D3 
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuit.
  3. D3 CHECK THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) STARTER RELAY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1381B-43  OHM BJB  starter relay pin 1
      C1381B-62  OHM BJB  starter relay pin 2

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to D4 
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuit.
  4. D4 CHECK BJB (BATTERY JUNCTION BOX) STARTER RELAY 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Connect PCM C1381B  .
    • Replace BJB  starter relay with a known good relay
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PCM  self-test.

    Is PCM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0616 or P0617 still present? 

    • Yes  : GO to D5 
    • No  : INSTALL a new BJB  starter relay.
  5. D5 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect all PCM  connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the PCM  connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : CHECK OASIS  for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB  exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB  instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new PCM  .

      REFER to: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) - 2.0L EcoBoost (184kW/250PS) - MI4 .

    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
