5.(K342) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition off.
Remove the ASD relay from the IPM.
Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.
Verify the ASD Relay is getting voltageontheFusedB+circuitsbefore
continuing.
CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the
PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting
in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815
to perform diagnosis.
Measure the resistance of the ASD Relay Output circuit from the ASD
Relay connector to the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815, Igni-
tion coil, and the fuel injectors.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

5.ECT SENSOR OPERATION
NOTE: For this test to be valid, the thermostat must be operating correctly.
NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soaked).
NOTE: If the vehicle was allowed to sit over night with no engine start, coolant temperature should be near
ambient temperatures.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read the ECT value.
NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82° C (180° F), allow the engine to cool until 65° C (150° F) is
reached.
Start the engine.
During engine warm-up, monitor the Engine Coolant Temperature value. Thetemperature value change should be a
smooth transition from start up to normal operating temp 82° C (180° F). Thevalue should reach at least 82° C
(180° F).
Did the Engine Temperature value increase smoothly and did it reach at least 82° C (180° F)?

Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may apply to the symptom.
The exhaust system must be free of any restrictions.
The engine compression must be within specifications.
The engine valve timing must be within specifications.
