Test NTC-14: Checking Pcm Power & Ground Circuits
NOTE:
For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION
. For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connectors. PCM is located between driver's side front fender and power distribution center, near battery.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between ground and terminal No. 10 (Black/Tan wire) on Black PCM connector C1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open on Black/Tan wire between PCM and ground. Perform TEST VER-2A .
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between ground and terminal No. 50 (Black/Tan wire) on Gray PCM connector C2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open on Black/Tan wire between PCM and ground. Perform TEST VER-2A .
- Turn ignition on with engine off. Using voltmeter, check voltage at terminal No. 20 (White/Black wire) on Black PCM connector C1. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open on White/Black wire to PCM. White/Black wire is the fused ignition switch output and goes from PCM to power distribution center, and then to Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) No. 1. PTC No. 1 is a specified amperage solid-state circuit breaker which receives voltage when ignition is on and may be reset when all current is removed from PTC for approximately 20 seconds. PTC No. 1 is located in junction block behind driver's side of instrument panel, to left of steering column. Perform TEST VER-2A .
- Ensure ignition is on with engine off. Using voltmeter, check voltage at terminal No. 46 (Red/White wire) on Gray PCM connector C2. If voltage is more than 10 volts, test is complete. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open on Red/White wire between fuse No. 5 (20-amp) and PCM. Fuse No. 5 is located in power distribution center at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near battery and receives constant battery voltage. Perform TEST VER-2A .
