Condition: The operator of the vehicle may complain of no start conditions or that the vehicle starts then stalls. Cause: A potential cause for the above condition is poor communication between the Central Timer Module and the Power Train Control Module. Correction: Inspect the power door lock fuse. The Power Train Control Module must receive a signal from the Central Timer Module that the vehicle may be started. Most Central Timer Modules receive battery voltage through the power door lock switch, if the fuse is blown, there will be no voltage. If the fuse is intact and functioning correctly then the system must be checked using a scan tool to attempt to communicate with the Central Timer Module. If communication can not be established between the scan tool and the module follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures for performing the diagnostics. The anti-theft system should also be reviewed as this will aid in determining the cause of the problem.
