Engine Component Power Supply Relay, Checking

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements

-- 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.

-- Turn key on.

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

Specified value: 12.5 V

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Using a multimeter, check the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 4 to the Battery -A- B (+) terminal for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

-- Turn key off.

-- 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 activation

-- Switch the ignition on.

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

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

-- Switch the ignition off.

Specified value: 12.5. battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Using a multimeter, check the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 4 to theMotronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay -J271- socket 2 for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

-- 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:

Checking Ground (GND)

-- Using a multimeter, check the Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- socket 4 to theEngine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector terminal T94/32 for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- 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 manual.

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

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 .
