Signal Circuit Inspection

  1. Check for open in harness
    1. Ignition "OFF"
    2. Disconnect Acceleration sensor connector.
    3. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
    4. Measure voltage between terminal 3 of sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

      Specification: approximately 5V

    5. Is measure voltage within Specification?

      YES 

      • Go to "Check for short to ground in harness" below.

      NO 

      • Open circuit or short circuit to chassis ground between Acceleration sensor harness connector and signal circuit.
      • Open circuit between Acceleration sensor harness connector and PCM harness connector.
      • Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      NOTE: In case, when acceleration sensor connector is disconnected, the voltage at terminal 3 is 0V.
      • Possible cause-Open or short circuit in harness between terminal 60 of PCM and terminal 3 of acceleration sensor or PCM
  2. Check for short to power in harness
    1. Ignition "OFF"
    2. Disconnect Acceleration sensor connector and PCM connector.
    3. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
    4. Measure resistance between terminal 1 and 3 of sensor harness connector.

      Specification: infinite

    5. Is measure resistance within Specification?

      YES 

      NO 

      • Short circuit between reference voltage (5V) circuit and signal circuit.
      • Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      NOTE: When the terminal 1 and 3 are shorted, the resistance measured is below 1Ω.
