1. Measure the resistance between ground and each of the (F342) ASD Control Output circuits in the C3 PDC harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to ground in the (F342) ASD Control Output circuit(s).
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No

  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the open in the (F342) ASD Control Output circuit(s).
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the related PDC and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the PDC and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
  Were there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Replace and program the Power Distribution Center in accordance with the Service Information.
