Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.
- 1
The System Check must be performed before proceeding with this diagnostic test. Failure to perform the System Check will result in misdiagnosis. - 2
This step checks the battery voltage supply from the lock-off relay to the LPL. The lock-off relay is energized regardless of which fuel system is operating the vehicle. - 3
This step checks the AF ECM and the Low Pressure Lock-Off Solenoid Control circuit for proper operation. The test lamp should illuminate for a few seconds then turn OFF as the engine cannot start on CNG with the LPL disconnected. - 4
This step checks the battery voltage supply from the lock-off relay to the HPL. The lock-off relay is energized regardless of which fuel system is operating the vehicle. - 5
This step check the AF ECM and the High Pressure Lock-Off Solenoid Control circuit for proper operation. The test lamp should illuminate for a few seconds then turn OFF as the AF ECM opens the HPL for system priming prior to cranking the engine. - 6
This step checks for proper battery voltage output from the lock-off relay. - 7
This step checks for proper relay coil positive voltage and ground supply. - 8
This step checks for proper battery voltage supply from the CNG fuse (20-amp) circuit to the lock-off relay. If the test lamp fails to illuminate the failure can only exist between the relay and the circuit splice. For example: a blown fuse would cause a lack of power to the AF ECM causing no scan tool communication in which the OBD System Check would have directed you to a different diagnostic procedure. - 9
This step checks for proper positive voltage supply from the gasoline fuel pump circuit to the lock-off relay.

- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
