Unable to start the car

Good day, thanks very much for the kind assistance. I tried to measure the 5v ref of the TPS and the value fluctuates between 0.22 to 0.24. I checked for battery voltage pin 16 and got 0.02. When I plugged in the scanner, it powered up but reads linking error, failed to communicate. When I turned the ignition, the attached video was displayed on the cluster panel. What should I do next?

Good day sir, I guess I wasn't doing it right before now. So, I got 12.4 volts at pin 16 of the DLC. As for checking for the grounds in pin 4 and 5, I disconnected the battery and turned the knob to 2k 20k 200k 2M ohms. I was getting varying fluctuating values in all of them. I don't know which of them will produce accurate value or how to test for ground (continuity). The 5v ref remains at 0.22 to 0.27 thanks for your assistance. I am glad you help. What should I do next?

I also don't know how to use the voltmeter to test fuse because none of the fuse I tested produce any value when the knob was turned to 20 mA except just one. Which is 0.03.

Greetings,

I appreciate all you do. In testing for the 5v ref, I placed the red lead in the SIG RTN and VREF, got same value. The value is even dropping. I use the chassis as ground, same response. I might be getting the testing right. I think that is where the issue lies. The PCM not communicating with the DLC. What are the possible test I can do to detect this short. What should I be looking at. I believe this the image of the TPS. Thank you very much for your concern and help.

The TPS please.

Good morning, sir,

At your suggestion, I have gotten a new PCM with programmed keys. However, I want to find out the cause of the short first before installing it in order to avoid damaging the new one. I don't think at any time I have cleaned the throttle body. Should I do that because I have intentions of detailing the whole engine if the car can start running. I want to get the service of a technician that might assist. My major concern now is the wires. I also observed that I can't remove the key after I turned on the ignition until I disconnect the battery. There is box I don't know its functioning but looks like the security. I don't know if it is contributing to the issue. Thanks very for the keen interest and God bless you richly.

The car has active antitheft. There is a small button I used to click and then turn on the ignition before I start the car. I don't know if this antitheft comes with all model of the car or the dealer I bought the car from install it himself. I think the click button is wired to this box but don't know where this box is wired to. Can I ask what is pin on the PCM to check the power supply. Thanks very much for your concern and time. God bless you in many ways

Good day sir, I can now test the fuses using voltmeter, fuse 20 is okay. Fuse 30 and 40 didn't give any reading. I couldn't locate pin 55 on the PCM. Still thinking about the possible cause of the short. If the 5v ref is so low, maybe injector or ETC won't get any. Thanks very much for your efforts, I still look forward to your contributions. Thanks once again and God bless you

Greetings boss, the fuse 30 and 40 I am referring to is in the BJB. Maybe that is the rating. What I mean by locating the pin 55 is if it could be cycle on the image just like the pin 16 of DLC for easy identification. I can't place the transceiver ring round the key cylinder. Does it in any way affect the readings and output at the PCM. As part of the development of the whole problem. When the low oil pressure and battery charging was indicating in the cluster illumination. The headlamps stopped working. I experienced hard starting then. As of now, I feel it was because of the short issue, they stopped working and radiator fans weren't working then too. I would like to resolve those issues as well. I contracted a technician who will be on ground on Tuesday. I also want to be guided to avoid repeated flaws. Thanks once again and I remain grateful.

Circle it on the image of the PCM connector.

Good day sir, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I tested fuse 30 and 40 in CJB. One is okay while the other reading maximum reading is 0.18 volt. The fog light turned on, a glimpse of hope. I tried the test at the pin 55 of the PCM, no reading at all. If it happens that the wire is the issue going by this, what should I do? What are the grounds and splices attached to the PCM harness that could be a possible source of short. Why is there no reading? Is it that I didn't perform it correctly? I didn't place the transceiver ring, but I did it with ignition off and on. Thank you very much and God bless you.

The fog light.
