2006 Pontiac G6 GTP, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION Test Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2006 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for an audible click when the RUN relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 3:  This step tests for voltage at the coil side of the RUN relay.
  3. 4:  This step verifies that the BCM is providing ground to the RUN relay.
  4. 5:  This step tests the control circuit side of the RUN relay for faults.
  5. 10:  After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • 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.
