How to Diagnose a No Crank, No Start Chevy Avalanche or Silverado 5.3L (Blown 20a PCM B Fuse)

This is how I diagnosed my 2005 Chevy Avalanche that stopped running while driving, and left me with a no-crank condition. Turning the ignition/key didn’t activate the starter, and didn’t turn over the engine. I diagnosed it as a blown 20a PCM B fuse in the under hose fuse box. The most common cause for this is a dying fuel pump. See comments for extensive discussion on the topic.

Jeremy,...I'm a dealership tech, listen to LHMex, I see this stuff daily. Step 1 you turn the key to ignition and you don't see the gear selector highlighting what gear it's on. That tells you pick is not communicating. Step 2 check 20 amp pcmB fuse. That fuse feeds the ecm,....and the fuel pump. Most likely cause, is a fuel pump, very rarely would it be the pc. My $$ is on a fuel pump.

@WiringRescue 5 лет назад

Rusted Horsepower - good info! I’d better recheck that wiring diagram, because I hadn’t seen the fuel pump circuit when I looked at the diagram. I also only had some screenshots of it. I’ll try to dig up the whole thing!

@rustedhorsepower5132 5 лет назад

@@WiringRescue GM is funny that way, if you look at power and ground schematics for the pcm. it shows 2 circuits from that fuse to pcm only., BUT if you look at "wiring systems" schematics it shows more detail, within the under hood fuseblock it feeds the "Load" side of the fuel pump relay. If you jumper your fuel pump relay, the same way you did your starter, it will run continuously, then pull pcmB fuse, and it will quit. This will prove the circuit/fuel pump is fed by pcmB.

@WiringRescue 5 лет назад

Rusted Horsepower - great info! I’ll dig up that diagram today and take a look. It may be worth noting that I’ve replaced the fuel pump and sending unit about 3000 miles ago because the sending unit was rotted and leaking.

hope you can help me :) im having same problem. pcmb fuse is good. theres 2 wires that are supposed to be hot for ignition to work. one leg is dead makes truck start but doesnt need to be connected all the time same leg runs a/c blower motor installed new ignition switch same issue. all relays seem to work. when i jump the hots together it starts fine. transmission keeps losing 1 and 4 maybe another issue

So I did an pcm swap and had to get a shop to extract a bolt from the plug on the pcm and he got it out and put it all back together and it wouldn't even turn over so I had to pull it home. I get it home try messing with it and still nothing.. I get on RU-vid and research and found this video so I went out there and looked at the pcm fuse and it was blown just like yours I put another fuse in and she cranked right up. Thanks for everybody on RU-vid, y'all are a big help. This video was so precise and it fixed my problem. Thank you and hope you receive as many miracles as you give.

You helped me big time! I solved my no crank issue. I have a 2007 Chevy Express van with 4.8L engine. It exhibited exactly same symptom as you - NO crank, NO underscore selection light under PRND32. Everyone told me it was the battery, battery, battery, and may be a fuse, relay, neutral safety switch, solenoid, blahblah but I wasn't convinced. Because it was working fine week before. When I heard you mention OBD2 reader not communicating, I thought I'd try the same. BINGO. It wasn't communicating, just like in the video. It was the same PCM B Fuse (20A). Thank you. I would send you a keg of beer if you were near me.

@WiringRescue 6 месяцев назад

😂 I would happily accept a keg of beer! Seriously though, I’m glad your issue was at least temporarily sorted out. Keep extra fuses in your truck and an eye on your fuel pump. From what I understand, the fuel pump is the most common reason for this fuse popping. Good luck - I’m cheering for you and your van!

A better way to check those fuses is by using the Continuity setting. Not all fuses will have power, until you turn the key on.

@tubejim101 Год назад

Is it safe for your tester, to check continuity on a hot circuit?

@GLC61 Год назад

Helpful video. Mine turned out to be the PCM 1 fuse, the 15 amp right above the 20. Come to find out, it's either the fuel pump or mass Air flow sensor causing it to short.. Both I just changed out prior to the fuse blowing. Go figure!!! I'm sending them both back. Good thing I cut through the floor, under the back driver side seat. I'm not dropping that tank. Not on a 2003 Tahoe Z71. Getting my fuel pump out will be a breeze to take out and send back. This video sure was helpful though. Thank You!!!

If your original brake lines haven't rusted out yet and you get to where air is introduced into the ABS controller to make a brake line repair, you will need a tech 2 scanner to do the automated bleed operation on the ABS. I had a guy try it with a $10K Snap On scanner on my '02 Avalanche and it didn't work. So I got the tech 2 scanner. Also there are storage slots on the fuse panel to hold a few spare fuses if you wanna keep a few handy there.

I would make sure that either 30 or 87 (likely 30) has power, and that when you try to start the truck pin 86 or 85 (likely 86) gets power. On my truck, I had the same exact problem and the ground strap had rotted off the starter. Replacing the starter was the fix. Good luck!

Any update my Tahoe is doing exactly what yours was doing but the fuse wasn’t blown. Also it is intermittent. It also will lose power to trans putting it in limp mode where it stays in 3rd gear only and the abs light and other lights would come on randomly and then it will drive fine the next day. The ac wouldn’t blow cold once or twice during the issues but then would be fine the next day. I am wondering if you had anymore issues and if you ended up replacing pcm.

Here's a test to everyone's electrical knowledge. 2005 Tahoe. New battery. Starter is good. Turn the key and everything comes on, but the starter doesn't turn over. Try connecting a wire from the 87 pin on the relay to the positive on the battery with the key in the run position and nothing. Tried it for hours. Put the key in the on position and tried to straighten the wheel but it wouldn't turn, and I tried it one more time and it started right up. Parked it with a straight wheel, shut it off but it wouldn't turn over. Wiggled the wheel and it still wouldn't turn over. The ground at the back of the engine "Feels" tight but couldn't climb back there to check for sure. Anybody experience something like this?

I generally don't run oil pressure gauges in my cars because they only tell you bad news. Why the heck would I want bad news when I'm cruising in my car? In this case, I can't really avoid the gauge because the truck came with it, so I just assume the engine is fine.

You need to find out what’s missing, fuel, spark, or compression. You’re unlikely to lose compression, so you are probably missing fuel or spark. You’ll need to diagnose from here though, checking for each.

@dillonjames7573 Год назад

Is there a certain way you rigged up that wire to check the starter? I noticed it had a fuse on the end so I didn't know if that was necessary before trying. Thank you in advance!

You need to check fuses before swapping ecu.

So riddle me this. I have a 2003 Avalanche Z71, we had a big snow storm, I went out on Christmas morning and no crank? The truck ran the night before. I have had a problem in the summer for the last 2 years where if I used the AC or let it idle on real hot days I would get a no crank just like in the video. But if I opened the hood and let it cool 5 to 10 min it would turn over no problem. However, if I jumped the relay to start it the AC blew hot. Also, in the winter I had to let it warm up before I drove it or it would go to reduced engine speed and I would have to shut it off and restart it several times to make it run right. Now it turns on my scanner but it can't read the computer. No bad fuses and no idea where to go from here. Any help please.😢

In my experience, if there are issues connecting to the computer with a scanner, the computer is the problem. Car computers don’t need a whole lot connected to them for the scan tool to work and read engine data. You could always grab a reflashed pcm for a LS swap that deletes the VATS (vehicle anti-theft system) and plug in it to see how it performs. That would save you from spending a ton at a dealer - maybe only cost you about $125 ish? That being said - others here may have better methods of diagnosing your problem than I do!

Do you honestly have 75-80 on your oil pressure? My 03 with 220 k only sits at 40 lbs all day, everyday as long as I can remember and I bought it new. Motor burns no oil and has equal compression. Any thoughts?

@WiringRescue 2 года назад

Assuming the gauge is right, yes. But this truck was fairly crappy, so it’s also possible it was just lying to us. I have always heard from old school hotrod guys that you need 5psi for every 1000 rpm. So at 40psi, I’d think your just fine. Also - I generally don’t put oil pressure gauges in my cars because they just give me something to worry about. I’d rather not know. Either way - good luck, and thanks for watching the video!

@@WiringRescue hey, while got you on the line lol ... 06 escalade, no crank, I can jump starter relay 87 pin to positive side and it starts with key on. Fuses good. Relay clicking....where should I start to look next. I'm currently with vehicle at home. I even have a snap on Apollo d9 here with me and I'm about to clear the codes since I jumped it and i think it was in limp mode.

@WiringRescue 2 года назад

@@8uckshot well your ecu works because that won’t stop your truck from starting. So rule that out. And your starter works when you jump the starter relay. So that’s cool too. Are you sure it’s the starter relay that is clicking when you try to start it? Try swapping relays around and see if anything changes. Maybe you have a bad relay? Make sure the grounds on your firewall are still good. They rot off. You can create some temporary grounds with jumper cables going from the body to the engine and the engine to the chassis. Make sure mice haven’t eaten the wires under your fuse/relay box. They love making nests in there. Also check your battery terminals to make sure there isn’t a loose connection or corrosion. Loose cables do all kinds of weird stuff. Good luck! I’m cheering for you!
