Page 5G-26 90-861326--1 MARCH 1999
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
Check for the following conditions;
• Poor connections at ECM. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal to wire connections.
• Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
• If the engine starts and stalls, it may set a false trouble code 41. Clear trouble codes and
repair stalling condition.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Step 2. Trouble code 41 means the ECM has seen an open in the IC circuit. This test con-
firms trouble code 41 and that the fault causing the trouble code is present.
Step 3. Check for a normal IC ground path through the IC module.
Step 4. Confirms that trouble code 41 is a faulty ECM and not an intermittent open in CKT
