- Verify that no starter relay, immobilizer, or automatic transmission DTCs are set that would cause the ECM to disable starting.
- If the specified DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool ECM Ignition 1 Signal parameter with a scan tool. The reading should be greater than 10.0 Volts.
- If less than the specified value, test the ECM IGN fuse, the RUN/CRNK relay, and the ignition voltage circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, transmission in Park, observe the scan tool ECM PNP Switch parameter with a scan tool. The reading should be Park/Neutral.
- If the scan tool PNP Switch parameter is not Park/Neutral, refer to PNP Switch Circuit Malfunction.
- Command the Starter Relay ON with the scan tool, or turn the ignition switch to the START position. The starter solenoid should engage and the engine should crank.
- If the solenoid does not engage, refer to Start Relay Circuit Malfunction.
- If the solenoid engages but the engine does not crank, refer to Starter Solenoid Clicks, Engine Does Not Crank .

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
