Shop Talk
The ECM monitors the voltage level on this circuit. When the ECM commands the OEM output signal low, it expects the voltage level to be approximately 0-VDC. If it detects a high voltage, this fault is recorded. If Fault Code 527 is still active after completing the following troubleshooting steps, consult the OEM service manual for procedures to check the OEM output device for an open circuit or short to ground.
Possible Causes
-Open circuit in the engine harness or OEM output control solenoid
-Short circuit to voltage source in the OEM harness
