  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the ECM.
  2. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Terminal 1 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • Terminal 2 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • Terminal 4 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • Terminal 73 X2 (4.6L LH2)
    • Terminal 73 X3 (4.6L LH2)
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ / IGN circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • IGN terminal 3 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • IGN terminal 5 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • IGN terminal 6 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • IGN terminal 54 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • B+ terminal 56 X2 (3.6L LY7 LTT)
    • IGN terminal 13 X2 (4.6L LH2)
    • IGN terminal 28 X2 (4.6L LH2)
    • IGN terminal 19 X1 (4.6L LH2)
    • B+ terminal 20 X1 (4.6L LH2)
    • If the test lamp did not illuminate, test the B+ / IGN circuits for an open/high resistance.
  4. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
