Poor connection at ECM. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor ter-
minal to wire connection.
Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
If the engine starts and stalls, it may set a false DTC 41 or 42. Clear DTC's and repair
stalling condition.
Step 2. DTC 41 means the ECM has seen an open in the IC circuit. This test confirms
DTC 41 and that the fault causing the DTC is present.
Step 3. Checks for a normal IC ground path through the Ignition Control (IC) module.
Step 4. Confirms that DTC 41 is a faulty ECM and not an intermittent open in CKT 423.
