WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra and 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition ON, observe the Ignition 1 Signal and the EC Ignition Relay Feedback scan tool parameter to determine which is more than 3 V lower than the other.
- Ignition OFF, remove the relay that corresponds to the scan tool parameter that is more than 3 V lower.
- Connect a 20 A fused jumper wire between B+ and the applicable ignition voltage circuit terminal 87. Ignition ON, verify that the applicable scan tool parameter displays between 9-14 V.
- If the applicable scan tool parameter is less than the specified value, test the ignition voltage circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a DMM set to the diode setting between the control circuit terminal 86 and ground. Verify the DMM displays OL.
- If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the DMM displays less than 1 V.
- If not the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the applicable relay.
NOTE:
The Ignition 1 Signal is supplied by the Run/Crank relay. The EC Ignition Relay Feedback signal is supplied by the powertrain relay.
NOTE:
A resistance of 6 Ξ© or greater in the circuit/underhood fuse block will cause the DTC to set.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
