Check that the CHECK ENGINE
lamp (MIL) lights up and stays on.
|
Did the CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL) come on?
Continue with point 3.
The control module has no power supply from the +15 or +30 circuits. Continue
fault diagnosis as described in "anti-theft alarm"
.
3. Check the performance of the crankshaft position
sensor
Check whether the CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL) goes out during starter motor
cranking.
Did the CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL) go out?
Continue with point 4.
If the CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL) did not go out, the control module is
receiving no information from the crankshaft position sensor. Carry out fault diagnosis under
as described for diagnostic trouble code P0336.

relay
|
-
|
Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
|
|
-
|

|
|
-
|
Connect the test lamp to pin 2 and battery negative (B-).
|
The test lamp should light up.
Did the test lamp light up?
Continue with point 5.
See fault diagnosis for the main relay on page
