*5.7L INTERMITTENT NO CRANK CONDITION
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
Possible Causes
ETC STARTER INHIBIT
Diagnostic Test
1.ETC STARTER INHIBIT
NOTE: This 5.7L engine will try to relearn ETC position when the key is left in the on position for an
extended period of time and will not allow the starter to crank during this procedure. This procedure can
take up to 2.5 seconds.
To verify the cause of the no crank condition or delayed crank use the scan tool, and read the ETC Starter Inhibit
mileage.
The controller will store the mileage at which the no start condition occurred because of the ETC testing procedure.
This is considered normal operation for a vehicle equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control System and no
repairs are necessary.
Is a mileage stored under the ETC Starter Inhibit?
Ye s>>
Te s t C o m p l e t e .
No>>
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedure for further assistance if any other DTC’s are set.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

Possible Causes
RESTRICTED FUEL SUPPLY LINE
FUEL PUMP INLET STRAINER PLUGGED
(A109) FUEL PUMP RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
FUEL PUMP RELAY
FUEL PUMP
Diagnostic Test
1.FUEL PUMP OPERATION
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, actuate the Fuel System test.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use a mechanics stethoscope in the next step.
Listen for fuel pump operation at the fuel tank.
Does the Fuel Pump operate?
Ye s>>

No>>
Go To 5
CAUTION: Stop All Actuations.
2.FUEL PRESSURE
Turn the ignition off.
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engineoff). Before testing or ser-
vicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel system pressure mustbe released. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
Install a fuel pressure gauge at the engine.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, actuate the ASD FuelSystem test and observe the fuel pressure gauge.
NOTE: NOTE: Fuel pressure specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi).
Choose a conclusion that best matches your fuel pressure reading.
