      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A13-2 (+B) - E3-1 (E1) Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      A13-1 (+B2) - E3-1 (E1) Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   10 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the E3 ECM connector.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E3-1 (E1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT ECM (IGSW VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      ECU-IG Always Below 1 Ω

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

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT IGNITION RELAY NO. 2 (IG2) 
    1. Inspect the IG2 relay. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [09/2012 - ] .

    NG → REPLACE IGNITION RELAY NO. 2 (IG2) 

    OK → See step   11 

  6. INSPECT ECM (MREL VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

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

    OK: Go to next step 

  8. INSPECT EFI RELAY (EFI MAIN2) 
    1. Inspect the EFI MAIN2 relay. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [09/2012 - ] .

    NG → REPLACE EFI RELAY (EFI MAIN2) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  9. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY (EFI MAIN2) - ECM, BODY GROUND) 
    GTY147590Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    1. Check the harness and the connectors between the integration relay and ECM.
      1. Remove the EFI MAIN2 relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
      2. Disconnect the A14 ECM connector.
      3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
