- Perform powertrain diagnostic system check. See POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . After performing powertrain diagnostic system check, go to next step.
- Verify whether Instrument Panel (IP) is operational. If IP is completely inoperative, see appropriate ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using scan tool, command MIL on and off. Repeat commands as necessary. If MIL turns on and off when commanded, go to next step. If MIL does not turn on and off when commanded, go to step 4.
- Observe FREEZE FRAME/FAILURE RECORDS data for this DTC. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start engine. Operate vehicle within code enable criteria or as close to FREEZE FRAME/FAILURE RECORDS data as possible. If DTC failed this ignition cycle, go to next step. If DTC did not fail this ignition cycle, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Inspect GAUGES fuse (10-amp). Gauges fuse is located in instrument panel fuse block. If GAUGES fuse is open, go to step 10. If fuse is not open, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM. Turn ignition on. If MIL is off, go to next step. If MIL is not off, go to step 11.
- Turn ignition off. Remove GAUGES fuse (10-amp) form instrument panel fuse block. Turn ignition on, engine off. Connect a DVOM between PCM Red connector C2 terminal No. 46 (Brown/White wire) and ground. See Figure. If voltage is zero volts, go to next step. If voltage is not zero volts, go to step 12.
- Turn ignition off. Reinstall Gauges fuse. Turn ignition on, engine off. Connect a fused jumper wire between PCM Red connector C2 terminal No. 46 (Brown/White wire) and ground. If MIL is on, go to step 15. If MIL is off, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Remove IP. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using a test light connected to ground, probe IP connector terminal B17 (Pink wire). See Figure. If test light is on, go to next step. If test light is off, go to step 13.
- Check Brown/White wire between IP and PCM for open or high resistance. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 18. If problem was not found, go to step 14.
- Repair short to ground in Pink wire between fuse block and IP. After repairs, go to step 18.
- Repair short to ground in Brown/White wire between IP and PCM. After repairs, go to step 18.
- Repair short to voltage in Brown/White wire between IP and PCM. After repairs, go to step 18.
- Repair the open in Pink wire between fuse block and IP. After repairs, go to step 18.
- Check IP connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 18. If problem was not found, go to step 16.
- Check PCM connectors for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 18. If problem was not found, go to step 17.
