With brake pedal released, less than 1.5 volts should be present. If okay, check for intermittent problems. If not okay, go to next step.
- Disconnect the D2 driver side junction block ECU 18-pin connector. See Figure. Disconnect the ECM E5 connector. See Figure. Check continuity between the wire harness side connectors. See DRIVER SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK/ECM CONTINUITY table. If continuity is to specification, check and replace ECM.
