Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate T8 ignition coil.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, it may take up to 2 minutes for all the systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
- Engine idling at operating temperature, test for 0.200-0.300 V between the appropriate ignition control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the ignition control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ignition control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the T8 ignition coil.
