Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. Read and record FREEZE FRAME and/or FAIL RECORDS data for each DTC set. Go to next step.
  2. Ensure battery is fully charged. Crank engine. If engine cranks, go to next step. If engine does not crank, diagnose and repair TDS.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect TDS module connector. Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM, check voltage between TDS module harness connector ground and TDS fuel enable circuits. If voltage is about 5 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, go to step 6).
  4. Turn ignition off. Reconnect TDS module connector. Turn ignition on. Using DVOM in Hertz (Hz) scale, check frequency between engine ground and TDS fuel enable circuit. If frequency is 40-60 Hz, go to next step. if frequency is not as specified, go to step 8).
  5. Turn ignition off. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Attempt to start engine. If engine starts and continues to run, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS. If engine does not start, go to step 7).
  6. Check TDS fuel enable circuit for open, short to ground or short to battery voltage. If a problem is found, repair as necessary and go to step 11). If no problem is found, go to next step.
  7. Check TDS fuel enable circuit for faulty connection at PCM. If faulty connection is found, repair as necessary and go to step 11). If connection is okay, go to step 9).
  8. Check for faulty connection at TDS module. If faulty connection is found, repair as necessary and go to step 11). If connection is okay, go to step 10).
  9. Replace PCM. Program replacement PCM using required equipment. After repair is completed, go to step 11).
  10. Replace TDS module and go to next step.
  11. Clear DTCs. Turn ignition on and observe VTD FUEL DISABLE scan tool display. If scan tool displays INACTIVE, repair is complete. If scan tool does not display INACTIVE, return to step 2)
