- If vehicle starts, go to TEST NS-6B. If vehicle does not start, turn ignition off. Disconnect Throttle Position (TP) sensor connector. Turn ignition on. Put scan tool in voltmeter mode.
- Using scan tool, check voltage on TP sensor connector 5-volt supply circuit (Violet/White wire). If voltage is more than 6 volts, repair open ground circuits at Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector terminals No. 5 (Black/White wire), No. 11 (Black/Tan wire) and No. 12 (Black/Tan wire). Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is less than 6 volts, go to next step.
- If voltage is less than 4.4 volts, go to step 5). If voltage is more than 4.4 volts, reconnect TP sensor connector. Disconnect Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor connector.
- Using scan tool, check voltage on MAP sensor connector 5-volt supply circuit (Violet/White wire). If voltage is more than 4.4 volts, go to TEST NS-6B. If voltage is less than 4.4 volts, replace TP sensor. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Disconnect Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor connector. Using scan tool, check voltage on TP sensor connector 5-volt supply circuit (Violet/White wire). If voltage is more than 4.4 volts, replace MAP sensor. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If voltage is less than 4.4 volts, turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 6, 5-volt supply circuit (Violet/White wire).
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Violet/White wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, turn ignition on. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on PCM connector terminal No. 9, ignition 12-volt feed circuit (Dark Blue/White wire).
- If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Dark Blue/White wire between PCM connector and ignition switch. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check voltage on PCM connector terminal No. 3, battery voltage circuit (Red/White wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, replace PCM. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Remove ENGINE fuse from Power Distribution Center (PDC). Inspect fuse. If fuse is okay, go to next step. If fuse is blown, go to step 12).
- Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on battery voltage side of PDC fuse socket (Red/White wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, repair open Red/White wire between PDC fuse socket and PCM connector terminal No. 3. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Red/White wire between PDC fuse socket and battery. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Auto Shutdown (ASD) and fuel pump relays. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 3, fused battery voltage circuit (Red/White wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Red/White wire. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is more than 5 ohms, check resistance of ASD relay connector terminal output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to step 16). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Disconnect fuel pump connector and Oxygen Sensor (O2S) connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of fuel pump connector output circuit (Dark Green/Black wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Dark Green/Black wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is more than 5 ohms, check resistance of O2S connector relay output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire) using scan tool. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace fuel pump. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace O2S. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Disconnect ignition coil connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace ignition coil. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, disconnect generator field connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in generator. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, disconnect fuel injector harness 10-pin connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in fuel injector harness (Dark Green/Orange wire). Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, disconnect fuel injector harness 6-pin connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in fuel injector harness (Dark Green/Orange wire). Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in ASD relay connector Dark Green/Orange wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
