    • If the voltage measures 4.7-5.2 volts, replace the APP sensor.
  4. With the DMM still connected to the 5-volt reference circuit, disconnect all other components connected to the 5-volt reference 2, one at a time. Refer to Diagnostic Fault InformationΒ .
    • If voltage changes when one of the above components is disconnected, replace the component. Refer to the appropriate replacement procedure.
  5. Test the 5-volt reference 2 circuits for a short to ground or a short to voltage.
    • If no problem was found in the 5-volt reference 2 circuit, replace the ECM.
