Checking Power And Ground Terminals






Checking power and ground terminals

Checking power supply and ground terminal, engine control module (ECM)

Checking the power supply
- Check fuse 11 the integrated relay / fusebox in the passenger compartment's�. If the fuse is blown, check the circuit after the fuse. Check for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
- Check fuses 12, 17 and 18 in the integrated relay / fusebox in the engine compartment. If the fuse is blown, check the circuit after the fuse. Check for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
- Check the power supply to terminal #29. The voltage should be approximately battery voltage with the ignition on
- Check the power supply to terminal #66. The voltage should be approximately battery voltage for 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on
- Check the power supply to terminal #30. The voltage should be approximately battery voltage with the ignition on or off
- Remedy as necessary.

Checking the ground terminal
- Check the ground lead at engine control module (ECM) terminals #3, #28, #33 and #67. Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
- Check the ground terminal on the engine control module (ECM). Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
