NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and review the general troubleshooting information.

1. Reset the ECM.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn on the headlights.

Is DTC P1298 indicated?

YES - Go to step 4.

4. Turn the ignition switch and headlights OFF.
5. Disconnect the ELD 3P connector.
6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




7. Measure voltage between ELD 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

13. Reconnect the ELD 3P connector and ECM connector A (32P).
14. Start the engine, and let it idle.




15. While measuring voltage between ECM connector terminals A30 and B20, turn the headlights on (low).

Does the voltage drop?

YES - Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM.

NO - Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box.
