Diagnosis & Repair Procedure

  1. Perform DTC CONFIRMATION TEST  . If DTC P1530 is set, go to next step. If DTC P1530 is not set, problem is intermittent. System is okay at this time. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
  2. Ensure ignition timing adjustment test switch terminal (located in engine compartment fuse/relay block at left side of engine compartment) is not grounded. See Fig 1 . If ignition timing adjustment test switch terminal is grounded, remove jumper wire and retest system. If ignition timing adjustment test switch terminal is not grounded, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between test connector terminals No. 4 (ground) and No. 5 (test switch terminal). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If voltage is 10-14 volts, problem is intermittent. System is okay at this time. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. If intermittent problem is not found, replace ECM and go to DTC CONFIRMATION TEST  . Go to next step.
  4. If voltage is not 10-14 volts, check for short to ground in Purple/White wire between ignition timing adjustment test switch and ECM 35-pin connector E92 terminal No. 16. See Figure . If wire is okay, replace ECM and go to DTC CONFIRMATION TEST  .
