Test NTC-12A - Checking Pcm Ground & Power Circuits
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAM section.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector. Put scan tool in ohmmeter mode. Using scan tool, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 5 (Black/White wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/White wire. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 11 (Black/Tan wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Tan wire. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 12 Black/Tan wire. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Tan wire. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Put scan tool in voltmeter mode. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, check voltage on PCM connector terminal No. 9 (Dark Blue wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Dark Blue wire. Perform TEST VER-2. If voltage is more than 10 volts, turn ignition off. Reconnect PCM connector. PCM grounds and power circuits are okay. Test is complete.
