    Turn the ignition off.

    Connect the PCM harness connectors.

    Disconnect the Crankshaft Position Sensor harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    Measure the voltage on the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit.

    Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  5).

    No 

    1. Go To step  6).

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the TP Sensor harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    Measure the voltage on the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the TP Sensor harness connector.

    Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. If communication is available with a PCM on a like vehicle, replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
