2006 Pontiac Torrent



The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

No start, no crank concern with no DTCs. This could be caused by an open BACKUP fuse in the UBEC. When the BACKUP fuse is open the P/N switch doesn't send a signal to the PCM that says it's okay to ground the starter relay.

Recommendation/Instructions:

  1. Check for an open BACKUP fuse in the UBEC.
  2. If the fuse is open check for a short to ground in the following circuits:
  3. • Circuit 239 Pink wire from the UBEC to the Park/Neutral switch pins 1 and 4.
    • Circuit 1786 Orange/Black wire from the Park/Neutral switch to the PCM.
    • Circuit 24 Light Green wire from the Park/Neutral switch to the back up lamps and the inside rearview mirror with RPO DF5.
