Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specification is not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to Repair information.

-- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to Repair information.

Final procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
