Engine oil temperature must be greater than 87°F (30°C) This diagnostic condition is typically: Q Bad injector harness and or connection (high resistance) ( Poor vehicle grounds Sticky solenoid valve NOTE: The injector diagnostic SID (Subsystem Identifier) indicates which cylinder number has an injector with a long response time. The injector number describes the cylinder and or bank which has the injector with a long response time. The DDR will display the injector text description. Injector response times generally increase with low battery supply voltage and decrease with high battery supply voltage. Although injector response times vary from injector to injector at a given r/min, each individual injector response time should remain relatively consistent from one firing to the next. Wide variations in response time (typically +/- 0.2 msec) for one injector at a steady engine r/min may indicate an electrical problem (faulty alternator or voltage regulator, poor or broken ground cables, etc.). 61.2 SAE J1587 EQUIVALENT CODE FOR FLASH CODE 61 The SAE J1587 equivalent code for Flash Code 61 is s 001 0, or s 002 0, or s 003 0, or s 004 0, or s 005 0 or s 006 0 (six cylinder engine) 61.3 TROUBLESHOOTING FLASH CODE 61 The following procedure will troubleshoot Flash Code 61 61.3.1 Test Alternator Ground Perform the following steps to test alternator ground. 1. Disable the alternator by removing the alternator belt. 2. Start and run the engine; warm to greater than 87°F (30°C). 3. Does the code return? [a] If flash code 61 does not return, repair or replace the alternator grounds and refer to section 61.3.5. {b] If the code(s) return, refer to section 61.3.2.

Disconnect the 5-pin injector harness connector at the ECM for those injectors logging the codes. 2. Establish a good ECM case ground by measuring the resistance across two points on the ECM. The resistance should measure less than or equal to 1 Q. 3. Once a good case ground is established, keep one of the measurement probes in place and move the other probe to one of the five exposed male injector terminals on the ECM. 4. Measure the resistance. Repeat this procedure at each of the five terminals. [a] If any terminals have a resistance of less than 1,000 Q, replace the ECM. Refer to section 61.3.5. {b] If all terminals have a resistance of greater than 1,000 Q, refer to section 61.3.3. 61.3.3 Check for Short Perform the follo\ \g steps to check for a short. the 1. Locate the injector harness connector terminals associated codes. See Figure 61-2 2. Measure resistance between that cavity and the cylinder block. {a]_ If measured resistance is less than 10 Q, the wire is shorted to the engine. Repair or replace the harness and refer to. section 61.3.5. [b] If measured resistance is greater than 10 @, go to step 3. 3. Remove the valve cover to gain access to the cylinder associated with the code. 4, Remove the connector terminals at the injector solenoid(s). 5. Measure resistance between that cavity and the appropriate return cavity (G or E).

Insert a jumper wire between the cavity associated with the code and the return for that connector (G or E). 2. Measure resistance across the injector connectors (disconnected from injector solenoid). [a] If the measured resistance is greater than 5 Q, the injector wire is open. Repair or replace the harness and refer to section 61.3.5. [b] If the measured resistance is less than 5 , and the ECM software is less than 3.00, reprogram the ECM. Refer to section 61.3.5. 61.3.5 Verify Repairs Perform the following steps to verify repairs: 1. Start and run the engine. Warm to 87°F (30°C). 2. Check DDR for codes. {al If injector codes are logged, please review this section from the first step to find the problem. Refer to section 61.3.2.
