- Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on battery voltage side of PDC fuse socket. If voltage is more than 10 volts, repair open Red wire or 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 battery voltage side of PDC fuse socket. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Turn ignition off. Remove Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay and fuel pump relay. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 3, fused battery voltage circuit (Red wire on AB body); Red/White wire on AN and BR bodies).

- Disconnect O2S connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of O2S connector, output circuit (White wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace O2S. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Disconnect ignition coil connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector, ASD relay 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, ASD relay 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, go to next step.
- Disconnect No. 1 fuel injector harness connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector, output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace No. 1 fuel injector. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Disconnect No. 2 fuel injector harness connector. Using scan tool, check resistance of ASD relay connector, ASD relay output circuit (Dark Green/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace No. 2 fuel injector. Replace fuse. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
