Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON, verify that no starter relay, immobilizer, clutch, or automatic transmission DTCs are set that would cause the ECM to disable starting.
  2. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool BCM Current Power Mode parameter. Place the ignition switch in the start position, the parameter should display Crank Request.
  3. Transmission range selector in park, verify the scan tool ECM PNP Switch and TCM IMS parameters display Park/Neutral. (automatic only)
    • If the ECM Park/Neutral parameter does not indicate Park/Neutral, refer to PNP Switch Circuit Malfunction below.
  4. Attempt to start the engine. The STRTR relay should click and the engine should begin cranking.
    • If the STRTR relay does not click or the engine does not crank, refer to STRTR Relay Circuit Malfunction below.
