Diagnostic Test

  1. (A919) PCM FUSED B+ CIRCUIT 
    NOTE: The scan tool and cable must be operating properly for the results of this test to be valid.
    NOTE: Make sure the ignition switch was on while trying to communicate with the PCM.

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.

    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 appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    Does the test light illuminate brightly? 

    1. Yes  : Go To 2
    2. No  : Repair the open or short to ground in the (A919) Fused B+ circuit. Inspect and replace fuses as necessary.

      Perform NGC POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 .

  4. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT 

    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? 

    1. Yes  : Go To 5
    2. No  : Go To  6.

  5. CKP SENSOR 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the Throttle Body harness connector.

    NOTE: Connect the TP Sensor harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

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

    Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts? 

    1. Yes  : If communication is available with a PCM on a like vehicle, replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.

      Perform (NGC) POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 .

    2. No  : Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor.

      Perform (NGC) POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 .

  6. (F855) 5-VOLT SENSOR OPEN/SHORTED 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the TP Sensor/Throttle Body harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

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

    Disconnect all the sensors that use the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit.

    Did the voltage return to 4.5 to 5.2 volts when disconnecting any of the sensors. 

    1. Yes  : Replace the sensor that is pulling down the (F855) 5-volt supply.

      Perform (NGC) POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1 .

    2. No  : Go To 7
