THEFT DETERRENT CRANK SIGNAL MALFUNCTION
Vehicle operation is disabled if incorrect key or starting
procedure is used. Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) module enables crank
circuit to starter and sends a signal to PCM if correct key is being
used. If proper signal does not reach PCM fuel enable signal circuit,
PCM will not pulse injectors on, disabling vehicle, even if crank
circuit is by-passed. Signal should be between 40-60 Hz and is
measured using DC scale on DVOM.
Symptoms
Engine will not run
