(A209) PCM FUSED B+ CIRCUIT

(F1), (F26) PCM FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUITS

(Z130), (Z131) PCM GROUND CIRCUITS

CHECKING PCM POWERS AND GROUNDS

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C1 PCM harness connector.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.

Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A209) PCM Fused B+ circuit in the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes --> Go To 2
No --> Repair the open in the (A209) Fused B+ circuit. Inspect the related fuses and repair as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 .
