Diagnosis & Repair

  1. Remove glove box and passenger's side kick panel (if necessary) for access to ECM with electrical connectors still installed on ECM. See Figure. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between terminals No. 2 (Yellow wire) and No. 18 (Brown wire) at ECM electrical connector E5. See Figure. This is the VC and E2 terminals on ECM. Voltage should be 4.5-5.5 volts. If voltage is within specification, go to next step. If voltage is not within specification, replace ECM.
  2. Turn ignition off. Connect voltmeter between terminals No. 18 (Brown wire) at ECM electrical connector E5 and No. 21 (Blue/Black or White wire) at ECM electrical connector E7. See Figure. This is the E2 and PTNK terminals on ECM. There are 2 different wiring harnesses used and wire color varies according to wiring harness used. Remove fuel tank cap. Turn ignition on and note voltage. Voltage should be 3.0-3.6 volts. If voltage is not within specification, go to next step. If voltage is within specification, replace ECM.
  3. Check for open and short in wiring harness and electrical connectors between vapor pressure sensor and ECM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Vapor pressure sensor is located on top of fuel tank. See Figure. If wiring harness and electrical connectors are okay, replace vapor pressure sensor. See VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR under EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION - 4-CYLINDER article. If wiring harness or electrical connector is defective, repair as necessary.
