    No: GO TO  7.

  2. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

    4. Check voltage between harness connector F44 terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    6. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    7. Check harness continuity between harness connector F44 and ECM as follows.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      ECM AND F44 CONNECTOR TERMINALS CONTINUITY

      Cylinder Harness connector F44 terminal ECM terminal
      1 2 23
      3 1 22
      5 4 21

      Continuity should exist. 

    8. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  5.

    NG: GO TO 4.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E2, F32
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E119
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F44 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between harness connector F101 and fuel injector

    : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-II 

    Provide battery voltage between harness connector F101 as follows and then interrupt it. Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.
