NO RESPONSE FROM PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) - GAS

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.



Possible Causes

(A209) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
(Z903) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
(F942) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN-START) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
(F342) FUSED ASD/MAIN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
(D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
(D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION




NOTE: Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
1. Turn the ignition on.

NOTE: Make sure the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
2. With the scan tool, read the module status.

NOTE: Check the TIPM for any active CAN hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.


Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?

Yes


No


2. CHECK THE (A209) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A209) Fused B(+) circuit.


Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No


3. CHECK THE (Z903) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN


1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z903) Ground circuits.


Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes


No


4. CHECK THE (F942) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN-START) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT



1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F942) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) circuit.


Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No


5. CHECK THE (F342) FUSED ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT



1. Remove the ASD/Main Relay.
2. Connect a fused jumper wire between terminals 30 and 87.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F342) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit.


Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No


6. CHECK THE (D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN


1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No


7. CHECK THE (D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN


1. Measure the resistance of the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No
