3. Check the Power Supply to the Auxiliary Main Relay A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position. B. Disconnect the auxiliary main relay. C. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position. D. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between terminal 30 on the harness connector for the auxiliary main relay and a suitable ground. E. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position. |
10 V to 14 V |
Result: The measured voltage is not within the expected range. There is a fault in the power supply wiring between the auxiliary main relay and battery (+). Repair: Replace the faulty wiring. Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes and verify that the repair eliminates the fault. Result: The measured voltage is within the expected range. Proceed to Test Step 4. |
4. Check the Power Supply from the ECM Main Relay A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position. B. Disconnect the auxiliary main relay. C. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between terminal 86 on auxiliary main relay and a suitable ground. |
10 V to 14 V |
Result: The measured voltage is not within the expected range. Proceed to Test Step 5. Result: The measured voltage is within the expected range. Proceed to Test Step 6. |
5. Check the Wiring Between the Auxiliary Main Relay and the ECM Main Relay A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position. B. Disconnect the auxiliary main relay. C. Disconnect the ECM main relay. D. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance between terminal 86 on the harness connector for the auxiliary main relay and terminal 87 on the harness connector for the ECM main relay. |
Less than 5 Ohms | Result: The measured resistance is greater than 5 Ohms. The fault is in the wiring between the auxiliary main relay and the ECM main relay. Repair: Replace the faulty wiring. Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes and verify that the repair eliminates the fault. Result: The measured resistance is less than 5 Ohms.
