Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine ON, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage with a DMM. The battery voltage should be between 12.5-14.5 volts.
瀚慖f the voltage is not within the specified value, or the charge indicator light is ON, refer to Symptoms - Engine Electrical (See: Starting
and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Electrical).
2. Observe the scan tool TCM Ignition Voltage parameter. The reading should be between 12.5-14.5 volts.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
