Cutlass L4-138 2.3L VIN A FI HP (1990)
Wiring Diagram For Service Engine Soon Light
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
There should always be a steady "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light when the ignition is "ON" and engine stopped. Battery voltage is supplied through
the ignition switch directly to the light bulb. The electronic control module (ECM) controls the light and turn it "ON" by providing a ground path through
CKT 419 to the ECM.
TEST DESCRIPTION:Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.
1.
If the fusible link is blown, locate and repair short to ground.
2.
Using a test light connected to 12V (B+) probe each of the system ground circuits to be sure a good ground is present. See ECM CONNECTOR
IDENTIFICATION in ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DIAGRAMS for ECM pin locations of ground circuits.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
Engine runs OK, check:
^
Faulty light bulb.
^
CKT 419 open.
^
IP fuse blown; this will result in the loss of "SES" light, oil light, brake light, etc. on IP.
Engine cranks but will not run:
^
Continuous battery - fuse or fusible link open.
^
ECM ignition fuse open.
^
Battery CKT 2 to ECM open.
^
Ignition CKT 439 to ECM open.
^
Poor connection to ECM.
^
Poor ECM ground.
