  1. Ignition ON, observe the Ignition 1 Signal and EC Ignition Relay Feedback scan tool parameters to determine which is less than B+.
  2. Ignition OFF, remove the relay that corresponds to the scan tool parameter that is less than B+.
  3. IMPORTANT: 6 ohms or greater in the circuit/underhood fuse block will cause the DTC to set.
  4. Ignition On, connect a 3A fused jumper wire between B+ and the applicable ignition 1 circuit terminal. Verify that the applicable scan tool parameter displays B+.
    • If the applicable scan tool parameter is less than the specified value, test the ignition 1 circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the applicable relay.
