Check SPOUT Signal At ICM

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition control module. Install breakout box (leave PCM disconnected). Measure resistance between SPOUT test pin at breakout box and SPOUT terminal at ignition control module harness connector. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open SPOUT circuit. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, check SPOUT circuit for short to ground. If SPOUT circuit is not shorted, replace PCM.

NOTE: To identify ignition system type by application, see the ENGINE/VIN ID article.
