Inspection Procedure

  1. Check voltage between terminals + B and E1 of ECM connector. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the ECM hood (See ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the voltage between terminals +B and E1 of the ECM connector.

    OK: 

    1. Voltage: 9 to 14 V

    1. NG: Check for short in all harness and components connected to IGN fuse. 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step. 
  5. Check ignition switch (See  IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY UNLOCK WARNING SWITCH  ). 
    1. NG: Replace ignition switch. 
    2. OK: Check and repair harness and connector between battery and ignition switch, and ignition switch and ECM (See  HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ). 
  6. Check voltage between terminal MREL of ECM connector and body ground. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the ECM hood (See ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the voltage between terminal MREL of the ECM connector and body ground.

    OK: 

    1. Voltage: 9 to 14 V

    1. NG: Replace ECM (See  ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)  ). 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step. 
  7. Check EFI fuse of engine room No. 1 R/B. 
    1. NG: Check for short in all harness and components connected to EFI fuse. 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step. 
  8. Check EFI main relay (Marking: EFI) (See  EFI MAIN RELAY  ). 
    1. NG: Replace EFI main relay. 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step. 
  9. Check for open and short in harness and connector between terminal M-REL of ECM and body ground (See  HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ). 
    1. NG: Repair or replace harness or connector. 
    2. OK: Check and repair harness or connector between EFI fuse and battery (See  HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ).
