    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard resistance

      Below 1 Ω

    NG → CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (+BM VOLTAGE)

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / ETCS Actuator Power.

      Standard voltage

      11 to 14 V

    OK → CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM 

    NG: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ETCS FUSE - ECM AND BATTERY)

    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room No. 1 relay block, junction block.
    2. Disconnect the E2 ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Relay block ETCS fuse terminal 1 - Battery positive (+) terminal Below 1 Ω
      Relay block ETCS fuse terminal 2 - E2-5 (+BM) Below 1 Ω
      Relay block ETCS fuse terminal 1 or Battery positive (+) terminal - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      Relay block ETCS fuse terminal 2 or E2-5 (+BM) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK → REPLACE ECM
