1. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Is DTC U0073 and/or U0155 indicated?

YES | - | Go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.■
NO | - | Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM. ■

1. Press the inertia switch button.

1. Try to start the engine.

Does the engine start?

YES | - | Troubleshooting is complete.■
NO | - | Go to Step 23 .

1. Check PGM-FI main relay 1.

Is PGM-FI main relay 1 OK?

YES | - | Go to Step 24 .
NO | - | Replace PGM-FI main relay 1.■

1. Inspect No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse inthe under-hood fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES | - | Go to Step 31 .
NO | - | Go to Step 25 .

1. Disconnect PGM-FI main relay 1.

1. Check for continuity between body ground and PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 4 individually.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1 and No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse. Also replace No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse.■
NO | - | Go to Step 27 .

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 30 seconds.

1. Disconnect ECM connector No. 2 (58P).

1. Disconnect the fuel rail pressure control valve 2P connector.

1. Check for continuity between PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1, fuel rail pressure control valve and ECM connector No. 2 terminal No. 1, No. 3 or No. 5. Also replace No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse.■
NO | - | Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM. ■

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
