Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Troubleshoot each problem symptom in accordance with the chart below.

1. CHECK MIL CONDITION (WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
   3. Turn the tester on.
   4. Check whether any DTCs have been stored (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR ). Note them down if necessary.
   5. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
   6. Check if the MIL turns off.

   OK: 

   MIL turns off. 

   OK: REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC 

   NG: Go to next step. 

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS) 
   1. Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
   2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
   3. Check the MIL is not illuminated.

      OK: 

      MIL is not illuminated. 

   4. Reconnect the ECM connector.

   OK: REPLACE ECM 

   NG: Go to next step. 

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM) 
   1. Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
   2. Disconnect the J35 combination meter connector.
   3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance (Check for open)

   OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

4. CHECK MIL (MIL IS ILLUMINATED) 
   1. Check if the MIL is illuminated when the engine switch is turns on (IG).

      OK: 

      MIL is illuminated. 

      OK: SYSTEM IS OK 

      NG: Go to next step. 

5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 
   1. Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
   2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
   3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection	Specified Condition
      W (A6-8) - Body ground	10 to 14 V

   4. Reconnect the ECM connector.

   OK: REPLACE ECM 

   NG: Go to next step. 

6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM) 
   1. Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
   2. Disconnect the J35 combination meter connector.
   3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance (Check for open)
