VC Output Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK MIL 
    1. Check that the MIL lights up when turning the ignition switch ON.

      OK

      MIL lights up

    OK → SYSTEM OK 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK CONNECTION BETWEEN TECHSTREAM AND ECM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and tester ON.
    3. Check the communication between the Techstream and ECM.

      Result

      Condition Proceed to
      Communication is not possible A
      Communication is possible B

    B → GO TO MIL CIRCUIT 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK ECM (VC VOLTAGE)

    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    2. Measure the voltage of the ECM connector.

      Result

      Voltage is not 5 V

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK MIL (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the T26 throttle body connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the MIL.

      Result

      Condition Proceed to
      MIL does not illuminate A
      MIL illuminates B

    B → REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 

    A: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK MIL (CANISTER PUMP MODULE) 
    1. Disconnect the C12 canister pump module connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the MIL.

      Result

      Condition Proceed to
      MIL does not illuminate A
      MIL illuminates B

    B → REPLACE CANISTER 

    A: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ECM - BODY GROUND)

    1. Disconnect the T26 throttle body connector.
    2. Disconnect the C12 canister pump module connector.
    3. Disconnect the E2 ECM connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the wire harness connector.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E2-29 (VC) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK → REPLACE ECM
