Physical Values

NOTE:
  • ECM is located in the engine room left side near battery.
  • Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
  • Pulse signal is measured by CONSULT.
CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECMs transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
