But when it will not start you should determine if it isn&#8217;t getting spark, fuel or both. Also check for fuel injector pulse.

At the same time a 12 V signal is sent through the PNP switch then through the coil side of the STARTER relay. The PCM verifies that all parameter a met for starting. The PCM then grounds the control circuit of the START relay.
