Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 5:  This step verifies that the PCM is able to control the fuel injector.
  2. 7:  This step tests if a ground is constantly being applied to the fuel injector.
DTC P0200

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference:  Engine Controls Schematics 
Connector End View Reference:  Engine Controls Connector End Views  or  Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector End Views 
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Idle the engine at the normal operating temperature.
  3. Monitor the misfire current counters with a scan tool.
Are any of the misfire current counters incrementing?		 Go to Step 4  Go to Step 3 
3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 Go to Step 4  Go to Diagnostic Aids

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the injector which displays the highest number of misfire current counters.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Probe the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate?		 Go to Step 5  Go to Step 13 
5 
  1. Connect the J 34730-405  Injector Test Lamp between the control circuit of the fuel injector and the ignition voltage circuit of the fuel injector.
  2. Start the engine.
Does the test lamp flash?		 Go to Step 6  Go to Step 7 
6 Did the DTC fail this ignition? Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
7  Does the test lamp remain illuminated? Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
8 Test the fuel injector control circuit for a short to voltage or for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 16  Go to Step 12 
9 Test the fuel injector control circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15 
10 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the fuel injector. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections andRepairing Connector Terminals in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 16  Go to Step 11 
11
  1. Apply Dielectric compound GM P/N 12377900 (Canadian P/N 10953529) to the fuel injector electrical connector.
  2. Reconnect the fuel injector connector.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 Go to Step 14  Go to Step 16 
12 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Repairing Connector Terminals in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15 
13
IMPORTANT: The INJ fuse also supplies voltage to the ignition coil modules. If the fuse is open, inspect all related circuits and components for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Repair the open or short to ground in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel injector.Is the repair complete?		 Go to Step 16  -
14 Replace the fuel injector. Refer to Fuel Injector Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 16  -
15 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 16  -
16
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 Go to Step 2  Go to Step 17 
17 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?		 Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information System OK
