P1277






P1277-STARTER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 LOW (TIPM)





For complete wiring diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical.


- When Monitored:

With the ignition on. Battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts and the ASD sense switch is on.

- Set Condition:

Actual Starter state is not equal to desired state. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.







Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.

Diagnostic Test


1. ACTIVE DTC

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

- Go To2

No

- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. Intermittent Condition
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

2. (T752) STARTER OVERRIDE CIRCUIT CHECK





Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the C1 TIPM harness connector.

Have someone turn the key to the crank position.

With the key in the crank position, use a 12-volt test light connected to ground and probe the (T752) Starter Override circuit in the C1 TIPM harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly when the key is turned to the crank condition?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Repair the excessive resistance or short to ground in the (T752) Starter Override circuit between the PCM and TIPM.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

3. (T750) STARTER CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND





Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the C9 TIPM harness connector.

Disconnect the Starter Solenoid connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit in the Starter Solenoid harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the short to ground in the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Go To 4

4. (T750) STARTER CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN





Measure the resistance of the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit from the C9 TIPM harness connector to the Starter Solenoid connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the excessive resistance in the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

5. STARTER





Turn the ignition off.

Connect the C2 and C9 TIPM harness connectors.


NOTE: The Stater Solenoid harness connector must remain disconnected at this time.

Have an assistant turn the ignition key to the CRANK position.

Using a 12-volt test light connected ground, probe the (T750) Stater Control Output circuit in the Starter Solenoid harness connector while the ignition key is in the CRANK position.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

- Replace the Starter.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Replace the Totally Integrated Power Module.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
