SPN 3597/FMI 4
This diagnosis is typically Proportional Valve Bank 1 circuit failed low.

Check as follows:
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the front valve cover fuel injector harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between pin 14 on the valve cover side of the fuel injector harness
connector and ground.

[a] If the resistance is less than 1K Ω, go to step 4.

[b] If resistance is greater than 1K Ω, go to step 6.
4. Remove the valve cover and disconnect the wires from the low engine brake solenoid.
 5. Measure the resistance between pin 14 on the valve cover side of the fuel injector harness
connector and ground.
[a] If the resistance is greater than 1K Ω, replace the engine brake solenoid.
[b] If the resistance is less than 1K Ω, replace the front under valve cover fuel injector harness.
Refer to section .
6. Disconnect the MCM 120–pin connector.
7. Measure the resistance between pin 14 on the engine harness side of the fuel injector harness
connector and ground.
[a] If the resistance is less than 1K Ω, go to the next step.
[b] If the resistance is greater than 1K Ω, go to step 10.
8. Disconnect the engine 31–pin connector.
9. Again measure the resistance between pin 14 on the engine harness side of the fuel injector
harness connector and ground.
[a] If the resistance is less than 1K Ω, repair short to ground between pin 91 of the MCM
120–pin connector and the valve cover fuel injector harness connector of the 31 pin
connector. Verify Repairs .
[b] If the resistance is greater than 1K Ω, repair short to ground between pin 22 of the 31–pin
connector on the vehicle side of the harness and the fan control solenoid. Verify Repairs .
10. Disconnect the Air Seal Pressure Regulator Valve connector, if equipped.
11. Measure the resistance between pin 2 of the Air Seal Pressure Regulator Valve connector
and ground.
[a] If the resistance is less than 1K Ω, repair short to ground between pin 93 of the MCM
120–pin connector and the Air Seal Pressure Regulator Valve connector. Verify Repairs .
[b] If resistance is greater than 1K Ω, replace the Air Seal Pressure Regulator Valve.
