Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition On - Engine Running
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Ignition 1 Signal - K20 Engine Control Module = Greater than 10 V
- If 10 V or less
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Ignition circuit terminal@K20 Engine Control Module & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal@K20 Engine Control Module & Control circuit terminal@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If greater than 10 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Remove - KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay - Ignition On - Engine Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 86 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 2@Component harness & The other end of the circuit@ Ground terminal
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points: B+ circuit terminal 30 & KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & Output terminal@<p01> Fuse
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is open
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off - Remove - Test Lamp
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: - B+ circuit terminal 30@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Disconnect the electrical connector: Terminal X1@M64 Starter Motor
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 87@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: M64 Starter Motor
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 86 & Control circuit terminal 85
- If available - Perform the scan tool control function: Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay Command - On and Off
or
If available - Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. - Park Brake Applied - Clutch pedal fully pressed - Manual Transmission or - Transmission in Park - Automatic Transmission
- Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 85@ KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 85@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for greater than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 85@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If the test lamp does not turn On and Off
- Connect a 30 A fused jumper wire between the test points: B+ circuit terminal 30@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay & Control circuit terminal 87@KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay
- Verify the component activates: M64 Starter Motor
- If the component does not activate
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Connect the component: KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay - Crank
- Verify the component is activated: M64 Starter Motor
- If the component does not activate
- Replace the component: M64 Starter Motor
- Go to next step: If the component activates
- Test or replace the component: KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay
