Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage between appropriate ECU power circuit terminal and ground. See POWER & GROUND CIRCUITS TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. See Fig 1. If battery voltage is not present, check appropriate fuse in underhood fuse box. See ECU POWER CIRCUITS FUSE IDENTIFICATION table. If fuse is okay, check for an open in wire between fuse box and appropriate ECU power circuit terminal or check for a defective ignition switch.POWER & GROUND CIRCUITS TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION
