Test NS-6A - Correcting No Response Condition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Acclaim and 1994 Dodge Spirit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

- If vehicle starts, go to TEST NS-6B. If vehicle does not start, turn ignition off. Disconnect Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) connector. Turn ignition on. Put DRB in voltmeter mode.
- Using DRB, check voltage on TPS connector Violet/White wire. If voltage is less than 6 volts, go to next step. 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 4.4 volts, go to step 5). If voltage is more than 4.4 volts, reconnect TPS connector. Disconnect Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor connector.
- Using DRB, check voltage on MAP sensor connector 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 TPS. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Disconnect MAP sensor electrical connector. Using DRB, check voltage on TPS connector 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. Put DRB in ohmmeter mode. Using DRB, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 6 (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, using an external ohmmeter, check resistance between PCM connector terminal No. 4 (Black/Light Blue wire) and PCM connector terminal No. 6 (Violet/White wire).
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Violet/White wire. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, turn ignition on. Put DRB in voltmeter mode. Using DRB, check voltage on PCM connector terminal No. 9 (Dark Blue wire).
- If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Dark Blue wire between PCM connector and ignition switch. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Using DRB, check voltage on PCM connector terminal No. 3 (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.
- Go to TEST NS-6C .
