Component Function Check

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM-ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM- ".

  1. PRECONDITIONING

    TESTING CONDITION: 

    • Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 12.8 V at idle. 
    • Before performing the following procedure, confirm that all load switches and A/C switch are turned OFF. 

      GO TO  2.

  2. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

    With CONSULT-III 

    1. Start engine and let it idle.
    2. Select "BAT CUR SEN" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-III.
    3. Check "BAT CUR SEN" indication for 10 seconds.

      "BAT CUR SEN" should be above 2, 300 mV at least once. 

    Without CONSULT-III 

    1. Start engine and let it idle.
    2. Check voltage between ECM harness connector terminals under the following conditions.
      CONNECTOR TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHART

      ECM Voltage (V)
      Connector Terminal Terminal
      + -
      F13 42 (Battery current sensor signal) 44 (Sensor ground) Above 2.3 at least once

      Is the inspection result normal?
