(P1-57) Start relay return Test Step 1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
Remove the electrical power from the ECM.
Thoroughly inspect the J1/P1 ECM connector, the connector for the keyswitch, the connector for the start relay, and any other connectors in the circuit. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the connectors that are associated with the circuit.
Check the torque of the allen head screws for each of the ECM connectors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
Check the harness and wiring for corrosion, for abrasion, and for pinch points back to the ECM. Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely inserted and coupled. The harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The wiring and the connectors appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - There is a fault with the wiring and/or the connectors.Repair: Repair the connectors and/or the wiring. Replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are completely coupled.If necessary, use the electronic
