Check And Replace Ecu

First check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is normal, the ECU could be faulty, so replace the ECU with a normal functioning one and check that the symptoms appear.

  1. Measure the resistance between the ECU ground terminal and the body ground.

    Resistance: 1 Ω. or less
