Hey guys.
The car just stopped running as I turned into a parking lot last night.
When the key is turned to the on position, everything lights up but the CEL. A scantool cannot connect to the PCM.
The engine does crank. The timing belt isn’t broken -the cam turns when cranking.There’s gas in the tank.
No fuses blown.
The ignition relay was just changed: I broke it when I was trying to test it. :blush:When I connect a scantool, it cannot connect.
My next step is to see if there’s voltage going to the PCM.
This is not looking good for the PCM.

I understand the circumstances that led you to this point.
My question is this ..
Do you know if your vehicle has a CAN BUS network and if so is it functioning?I believe you misunderstand me sir.
In order to test the CAN BUS you need a break out box, something like the one below.In order to see what exactly is occurring on the network.
FYI, I checked the OBDII socket under the dash.
Getting 12v on pin 16.
very low voltage on pins 4&5&7 Pin #7 should have 3.5volts.
Resistance: low on 4&5 and nothing registering on pin 7 – the K-line.
To recap:
I did this because my CEL doesn’t come on (bulb OK) and car cranks but doesn’t start.
While driving my car just out of the blue it stopped running – like if it stalled.
