Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra and 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 4:  This step tests for a short to ground in the MIL control circuit. With the powertrain control module (PCM) disconnected and the ignition ON, the MIL should be OFF.
  2. 5:  This step tests for a short to voltage on the MIL control circuit. With the fuse removed, there should be no voltage on the MIL control circuit.

  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Does the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
4 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Replacement .
  3. Turn ON the ignition.
Is the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) OFF?		 - Go to Step 5  Go to Step 10 
5 
  1. Remove the fuse that supplies voltage to the IPC
  2. Measure the voltage from the MIL control circuit in the PCM harness connector to a good ground.
Is the voltage less than the specified value?		 1 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 11 
6
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Install the fuse that supplies voltage to the MIL.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the MIL control circuit of the PCM harness connector and a good ground.
Is the MIL illuminated?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the MIL control circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct a condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 8 
8 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the IPC. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 12 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
10 Test for a short to ground in the MIL control circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 12 
11 Repair the short to voltage in the MIL control circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 14  -
12 Replace the IPC. Refer to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gages, and Console.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 14  -
13 Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 14  -
14
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
