  • EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks
  • Faulty TCM or TCM programming
  • Ignition coils circuit poor electrical connection
  • Three way catalyst converter Bank 1

At this point we are assuming that the fuses and relays are good. You will need to locate the PCM/TCM and the power input signal circuit using your vehicle information source.

Unplug the connector from the PCM/TCM, place the ignition switch in the ON position, and probe the appropriate circuit with the positive test lead of the DVOM.
