NB7 - Check ICM
- Key "OFF".
- Breakout box installed.
- Connect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to breakout box.
- Reconnect Ignition Control Module (ICM).
- Connect Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVOM) between test pin 4 (also test pin 32 or test pin 31 Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) on 2.3L Ranger) and test pin 16 at the breakout box.
- Start engine.
- Observe DVOM when voltage is allowed to stabilize.
- Lightly tap on ignition components (to simulate road shock).
- Wiggle both ICM connectors.
- A sudden change in voltage indicates a fault.
- Is a fault indicated?
Yes -- Disconnect and inspect connectors. If connector and terminals are good, remove breakout box, reconnect all components and go to Ignition Systems.
No -- Go to NB8. NB8 - Check EEC Harness
