- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC Active at this time?
Yes
- Go To 2
No

- CHECK FOR OTHER DTCS
- Refer to the recorded DTCs.
Are DTCs P258C-00 or P258D-00 active or pending?
Yes
- Perform the applicable diagnostic procedure(s). Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
No
- Go To 3
- Refer to the recorded DTCs.
- CHECK THE FUSED RUN/ START CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Remove the EVP Relay from the relay connector in the PDC.
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the Fused RUN/START circuit (terminal 85) at the EVP Relay connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Replace the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE EVP RELAY OPERATION
- Measure the resistance of the EVP Relay Coil.NOTE:
Measure across terminals 85 and 86 of the relay.
Is the resistance between 60 to 80 Ohms?
Yes

- Measure the resistance of the EVP Relay Coil.
- CHECK THE (T109) EVP SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Disconnect the Electric Vacuum Pump harness connector.
- Disconnect the PDC C3 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (T109) EVP Supply circuit between the Electric Vacuum Pump harness connector and the PDC C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (T109) EVP Supply circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE (T109) EVP SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (T109) EVP Supply circuit at the PDC C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the (T109) EVP Supply circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (T109) EVP Supply circuit at the PDC C3 harness connector.
- CHECK THE EVP GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z906) EVP Ground circuit at the Electric Vacuum Pump harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 8
No
- Repair the (Z906) EVP Ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z906) EVP Ground circuit at the Electric Vacuum Pump harness connector.
- CHECK THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER OPERATION
- Measure the resistance of the (T109) EVP Supply circuit between the EVP Relay and the PDC C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 9
No
- Replace the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (T109) EVP Supply circuit between the EVP Relay and the PDC C3 harness connector.
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Repair the poor connections.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
