No Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
060RW136
Circuit Description
The  “Check  Engine”  lamp  (MIL)  should  always  be
illuminated  and  steady  with  the  ignition  “ON”  and  the
engine stopped.  Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the
MIL  bulb  through  the  meter  fuse.    The  Engine  Control
Module ECM turns the MIL “ON” by grounding the MIL
driver circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent MIL may be cause by a poor connection,
rubbed-through  wire  insulation,  or  a  wire  broken  inside
the insulation.  Check for the following items:
Inspect  the  ECM  harness  and  connections  for
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged  terminals,  poor  terminal-to-wire
connection, and damaged harness.
If the engine runs OK, check for a faulty light bulb, an
open  in  the  MIL  driver  circuit,  or  an  open  in  the
instrument cluster ignition feed.
If the engine cranks but will not run, check for an open
ECM ignition or battery feed, or a poor ECM to engine
ground.
Test Description
Number(s)  below  refer  to  the  step  number(s)  on  the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. A “No MIL” condition accompanied by a no-start
condition suggests a faulty ECM ignition feed or
battery feed circuit.
9. Using a test light connected to B+, probe each of the
ECM ground terminals to ensure that a good ground
is present.  Refer to 
ECM Terminal End View for
terminal locations of the ECM ground circuits.
12.In this step, temporarily substitute a known good
relay for the ECM relay.  The horn relay is nearby,
and it can be verified as “good” simply by honking
the horn.  Replace the horn relay after completing
this step.

Engine Cranks But Will Not Run
Circuit Description
In this type of injector system, the Engine Control Module
(ECM) triggers the correct driver inside the injector, which
then triggers the correct injector based on the 57X signal
received from the crankshaft position sensor (CKP).
During crank, the ECM monitors the CKP 57X signal.  The
CKP  signal  is  used  to  determine  which  cylinder  will  fire
first.  After the CKP 57X signal has been processed by the
ECM, it will command all four injectors to allow a priming
shot  of  fuel  for  all  the  cylinders.    After  the  priming,  the
injectors are left “OFF” during the next four 57X reference
pulses from the CKP.  This allows each cylinder a chance
to use the fuel from the priming shot.  During this waiting
period, a camshaft position (CMP) signal pulse will have
been received by the ECM.  The CMP signal allows the
ECM  to  operate  the  injectors  sequentially  based  on
camshaft position.  If the camshaft position signal is not
present  at  start-up,  the  ECM  will  begin  sequential  fuel
delivery with a 1-in-4 chance that fuel delivery is correct.
The  engine  will  run without  a CMP  signal,  but  will set  a
DTC code.
Diagnostic Aids
An  intermittent  problem  may  be  caused  by  a  poor
connection,  rubbed-through  wire  insulation  or  a  wirebroken  inside  the  insulation.    Check  for  the  following
items:
Poor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
ECM  harness  and  connectors for improper mating,
broken  locks,  improperly  formed  or  damaged
terminals,  poor  terminal-to-wore  connection,  and
damaged harness.
Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor – Using a
Tech  2,  compare  engine  coolant  temperature  with
manifold air temperature on a completely cool engine.
Test Description
Number(s)  below  refer  to  the  step  number(s)  on  the
Diagnostic Chart.
4. An obvious cause of low fuel pressure would be an
empty fuel tank.
5. The engine will easily start and run if a few injectors
are disabled.  It is not necessary to test all injectors
at this time since this step is only a test to verify that
all of the injectors have not been disabled by fuel
contamination.
8.If there is an open or shorted driver circuit, DTCs
0201-0204 should be set.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0380 (Flash DTC 66) 
Glow Relay Circuit Open/Short
060RW132
Circuit Description
Glow relay circuit receives current through Glow 50A fuse
from the battery. Glow relay is circuited to Glow plug.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The  ECM  will  store  conditions  which  were  present
when  the  DTC  was  set  as  Freeze  Frame  and  in  the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0380 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info”  function  or  by  disconnecting  the  ECM  battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
An  intermittent  may  be  caused  by  a  poor  connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the
insulation.  Check for:
Poor  connection  –  Inspect  the  ECM  harness  and
connectors  for  improper  mating,  broken  locks,
improperly  formed  or  damaged  terminals,  and  poor
terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged  harness  –  Inspect  the  wiring  harness  for
damage.
