  8. CHECK ECM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-III 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    2. Check voltage between ECM terminals 119, 120 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: After turning ignition switch OFF, battery voltage will exist for a few seconds, then drop approximately 0V. 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  15.

    NG (Battery voltage does not exist.): GO TO  9.

    NG (Battery voltage exists for more than a few seconds.): GO TO  12.
