Ground Circuits
Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM 104-pin connector. PCM is located on right rear of engine compartment.
Using DVOM, check for continuity between chassis ground and PCM harness connector terminals No. 3, 25,
51, 76 and 103. See Fig. 1 . If continuity exists, see POWER CIRCUITS . If continuity does not exist, repair
open in affected ground circuit. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in
ELECTRICAL.

WARNING:
Before performing any tests or diagnostics on LPG components or
systems, read all cautions and warnings in LPG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
NOTE:
System and component testing included in this article is for alternative fuel
systems only. For gasoline fuel system and component testing, see SYSTEM &
COMPONENT TESTING - GASOLINE article. Since many computer-controlled
and monitored components set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) when a
malfunction occurs, check for Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs and
Alternative Fuel Control Module (AFCM) DTCs prior to testing an individual
system or component. Perform QUICK TEST procedures in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
- CNG, FLEX-FUEL & GASOLINE article, or QUICK TEST procedures in SELF-
DIAGNOSTICS - BI-FUEL - GASOLINE/LPG article. If no DTCs are present,
perform SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS under SYMPTOMS in TROUBLE SHOOTING -
NO CODES - BI-FUEL - GASOLINE/LPG article to diagnose driveability problems
existing when a hard fault code is not present. For specifications, see
appropriate ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - TRUCKS or appropriate SERVICE &
ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS article.
NOTE:
Testing individual components does not isolate short or open circuits. Perform
all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-
megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use
ohmmeter to isolate shorted or open wiring harness. For identification of
circuits and terminals referenced in test procedures, see ENGINE
PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
