Engine Component Power Supply Relay, Checking

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements 

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK .

Start diagnosis 

-- Using a multimeter, check the following wiring connection for voltage.

Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket Measure to
2 Engine Ground (GND)

Specified value: 12.5 V

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 2 to the Battery -A- positive terminal for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connectors for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

-- Switch the engine on.

-- Using a multimeter, check the following wiring connection for voltage.

Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket Measure to
8 Engine Ground (GND)

Specified value: 12.5 V

-- Switch the engine off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 8 to Fuse -SB5- \ for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connectors for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

Checking Ground (GND) 

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the appropriate service information.

-- Using a multimeter, check the following wiring connection for resistance.

Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket Engine Control Module -J623- electrical harness connector T94 or test box socket
6 72

Specified value: 1.5 Ω.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 6 to the Engine Control Module -J623- electrical harness connector T94 terminal 72 for an open circuit or a short to Battery (+).

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

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace theEngine Component Power Supply Relay -J757-.

-- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the fault does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .

If the fault does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the appropriate service information.

-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures 

After 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 .
