K20 Engine Control Module  | The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal vehicle performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the propulsion system actuators accordingly.  | 
T8 Ignition Coil  | The ignition system on this engine uses ignition coils with integrated power transistors.  | 
The ECM monitors and compares the voltages supplied by the relay(s).
Conditions for Running the DTC- Delayed starting=For greater than 5 engine revolutions

Circuit/System Verification- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
 - Verify the scan tool parameter:Ignition Coil Supply Voltage=On
 - Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Verify the DTC does not set.
 - All OK.
 
Circuit/System Testing- Ignition/Vehicle » Off
 - Disconnect the electrical connector:X1@K20 Engine Control Module
 - Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Control circuit terminal 67&Ground
 - Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
 - Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points:Ignition circuit terminal 51&Ground
 - If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is OK
 
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off & Remove » Test lamp
 - Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:Ignition circuit terminal 51@Control module harness&Output terminal@Fuse
 - If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
 - If less than 2 Ω » Verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
 
- If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is open
 
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off
 - Replace the component:F16UA Fuse
 - Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
 - Verify the fuse does not open.
 - If the fuse opens and there are components connected to the circuit » Disconnect a component and repeat procedure starting at step 5.1
 - If the fuse opens with all components disconnected from the circuit » Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
 - If the fuse does not open after disconnecting a component from the circuit » Replace the component disconnected last.
 
- If the fuse does not open with all components connected, except the following component:K20 Engine Control Module
 
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off
 - Connect the electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
 - Replace the component:F16UA Fuse
 - Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
 - Verify the fuse does not open.
 - If the fuse is open » Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
 
- If the fuse does not open.
 
Note: It may be necessary to use a scan tool control function to operate a component.
- Operate the component:Each component on the circuit—One at a time
 Verify the fuse does not open when any of the components are activated.
- If the fuse opens » Replace the component that caused the fuse to open when activated.
 
- If the fuse does not open.
 
- All OK.
 
- If the test lamp turns On
 
- Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
