Test NS-2A - Inspecting Fuel Shutdown (FSD) Relay & Solenoid
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Pickup and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Observe position of FSD solenoid plunger. Crank engine for 3 seconds. DO NOT turn ignition off. If FSD solenoid plunger position is changed, FSD solenoid is operating properly at this time. Perform TEST NTC-8A.
- If FSD solenoid plunger position has not changed, manually retract FSD solenoid plunger and release. If FSD solenoid plunger remains retracted, go to step 6).
- If FSD solenoid plunger does not remain retracted, turn ignition off. Disconnect and inspect FSD solenoid connector. Repair as necessary. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- If connector is okay, turn ignition on. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on FSD relay connector ignition switch output circuit (Light Green/Black wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Light Green/Black wire. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- If voltage is more than 10 volts, turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of FSD relay connector ground circuit (Black/Tan wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Tan wire. PerformTEST VER-1A. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace FSD solenoid. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- Disconnect FSD solenoid connector. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on FSD solenoid connector relay output circuit (Red/Violet wire) while cranking engine. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to step 8).
- If voltage is more than 10 volts, turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of FSD solenoid connector ground circuit (Black/Tan wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Tan wire. PerformTEST VER-1A. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace FSD solenoid. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- Turn ignition off. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Red/Violet wire between FSD solenoid connector and FSD relay connector. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Red/Violet wire. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on FSD relay connector fused B+ circuit (Red/Black wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Red/Black wire. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- If voltage is more than 10 volts, using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of FSD relay connector ground circuit (Black/Tan wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Tan wire. PerformTEST VER-1A.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, remove starter relay. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Brown wire between FSD relay connector and starter relay connector. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Brown wire. PerformTEST VER-1A. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace FSD relay. Perform TEST VER-1A.
