Diagnostic Test
1.NO START PRE-TEST
NOTE: The following list of items must be checked before continuing with any no start tests.
The battery must be fully charged and in good condition. A low charged battery may produce invalid test results. If
the battery is low, charge the battery and then attempt to start the vehicleby cranking the engine for 15 seconds,
3 consecutive times.
This will allow any DTCs to set that may have been erased due to a dead battery.
Try to communicate with PCM if not able to communicate check fuses.
Make sure the Powers and Ground to the PCM are OK.
Make sure the PCM communicates with the scan tool and that there are no DTCs stored in the PCM memory. If the
PCM reports a No Response condition, refer to section 8 Electrical Electronic Control Module Electrical Diagnostics
for the proper tests.
Read the PCM DTCs with the scan tool. If any DTCs are present, they must be repaired before continuing with any
other No Start diagnostic tests. Refer to the Table of Contents for the related P-code that is reported by the PCM.
Make sure that the Bus is functional. Attempt to communicate with the Instrument Cluster and VTSS, If you are
unable to establish communications refer to 8 Electrical Electronic Control Module Electrical Diagnostics for the
proper Diagnostic procedures.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System mustbe operating properly. Check for proper communication with the scan tool
and check for DTCs that may be stored in the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Repair the DTC(s) before
continuing.
If no DTCs are found, using the scan tool, select Clear PCM (BATT Disconnect).
Crank the engine several times. Using the scan tool, read DTCs. If a DTC is present perform the DTC diagnostics
before continuing.

Diagnostic Test
1.FUEL PUMP MODULE
NOTE: Before continuing visually and physically inspect the fuel delivery system for external leaks or dam-
age. Repair / replace as necessary.
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 special tool #6539 (5/16
) or #6631 (3/8) fuel line adapter.
Install the fuel pressure gauge.
Start the engine and allow the fuel system to reach maximum pressure.
Turn the ignition off.
NOTE: Fuel specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi).
Using special tool #C4390, Hose Clamp Pliers, pinch the rubber fuel line between the fuel pressure gauge and the
engine.
Monitor the fuel pressure gauge for a minimum of 5 minutes.
NOTE: The pressure should not fall below 241 KPa (35 psi)
Does the fuel pressure drop?
Ye s>>
Replace Fuel Pump Module.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2.FUEL INJECTOR(S)
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.
Remove special tool #C4390.
Start the engine and allow the fuel system to reach maximum pressure.
Turn the ignition off.
NOTE: NOTE: Fuel specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi).
Move special tool #C4390, Hose Clamp Pliers, from between the fuel pressure gauge and the engine to between
the fuel pressure gauge and fuel pump module.
