  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 at the ECM.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that the wait to start indicator is OFF.
    • If not OFF, test the wait to start indicator control signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC).
  3. Install a 3-amp fused jumper between the wait to start control signal circuit and ground. Verify that the wait to start indicator is ON.
    • If not ON, test the wait to start indicator control signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM
