ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN
DEFINITIONS: Engine cranks, but will not run. (The
engine never start.)
NOTE: The replacement ECM must be programmed.
Refer to section of the Service Programming
System (SPS) in this manual. Following ECM
programming, the immobilizer system (if equipped)
must be linked to the ECM. Refer to section 11
"Immobilizer System-ECM replacement" for the
ECM/Immobilizer linking procedure.
Should Tech2 display "SPS Procedure was not
successful", engine will not start, but no DTCs are
present, low battery voltage or poor electrical
connections should be the primary
suspects.Perform the SPS procedure again after
rectifying the fault/s.
NOTE: The vehicle with immobilizer system, this
system may be activated. Check the immobilizer
system diagnosis.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE PROCEDURE
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
NOTE:
To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the control module connector pins
or soldered components on the control module
circuit board.
Do not open the replacement part package until
the par is ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package,
ground the package to a known good ground on
the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across
the seat, or while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a
known good ground before installing the part.
NOTE:
To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition must
be in the "OFF" position in order to disconnect o
r
reconnect power to the ECM (for example: battery
cable, ECM pigtail, ECM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
NOTE:
When replacing the production ECM with a service
ECM, it is important to transfer the broadcast code
and production ECM number to the service ECM
label. This will allow positive identification of ECM
parts throughout the service life of the vehicle.

Service Programming System (SPS) and
Immobilizer programming (if equipped) is
/are
necessary. In case "SPS procedure does not
succeed" or "engine does not run but No DTC afte
r
SPS", low vehicle battery voltage or disconnected
electrical connector (e.g. poor connection of data
link connector) are supposed. Perform the SPS
procedure once again by correct conditions. The
programming ECM will be recovered normally.

between the tip of the pintle and the mounting flange. I
f
that measurement is 28mm (1.1in.) or less, the valve
need no adjustment. If the measurement is greater than
28mm (1.1in.), apply finger pressure and retract the
valve. The force required to retract the pintle on a ne
w
valve will not damage the valve, shaft, or pintle.
