Diagnostic Procedure
- Perform Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.3L ASTRO, BLAZER, JIMMY CANADIAN, SAFARI, SONOMA & S10 PICKUP , SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.3L CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA or SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.3L SIERRA & SILVERADO article. After performing Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls, go to next step.
- Is DTC P0200 set? If yes, go to DTC P0200: FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.3L ASTRO, BLAZER, JIMMY CANADIAN, SAFARI, SONOMA & S10 PICKUP , SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.3L CHEVY EXPRESS & SAVANA or SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.3L SIERRA & SILVERADO article. If no, go to next step.
- Inspect ECM 1 fuse. Is ECM 1 fuse open? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 6.
- Turn OFF the ignition. Remove engine cover. Disconnect harness connector of fuel injectors. Probe Ignition 1 Voltage Supply circuit of a fuel injector, fuse side, with test light connected to battery voltage. Does test light illuminate? If yes, go to step 8. If no, go to next step.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Does test light illuminate? If yes, go to step 11. If no, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Turn OFF the ignition. Remove engine cover. Disconnect harness connector of fuel injectors. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Probe Ignition 1 Voltage Supply circuit of fuel injector, fuse side, with test light connected to a good ground. Does test light illuminate? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 9.
- Test for continuity between ECM 1 fuse and Ignition 1 voltage supply terminal of a fuel injector. Does DMM display a resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, go to step 10. If no, go to INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - TRUCKS article.
- Test Ignition 1 Voltage Supply circuit of fuel injectors for a short to ground. After repairs, go to step 12.
- Repair open in Ignition 1 Voltage Supply circuit of fuel injectors. After repairs, go to step 12.
- Repair high resistance in Ignition 1 Voltage Supply circuit of fuel injectors. After repairs, go to step 12.
- Repair short to a PCM ground in Ignition 1 Voltage Supply circuit of fuel injectors. After repairs, go to next step.
- Operate system in order to verify repair. Did you correct the condition? If yes, system is okay. If no, go to step 3.
