^ If there is battery voltage, go to step 4.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON. Check for voltage between the GRN wire and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
^ If there is no battery voltage, check:
- Ignition coil
- GRN wire between the ignition coil and the ICM
^ If there is battery voltage, go to step 5.
