Power & Ground Circuits (Quest)

  1. Start engine. If engine starts, turn engine off and go to next step. If engine does not start, turn ignition off and on. Measure voltage between ground and PCM harness connector terminal No. 24 (Blue/Yellow wire) by backprobing. See Figure and Fig 1 . If battery voltage exists, go to step  8. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open or short circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

  2. Measure voltage between ground and PCM harness connector terminal No. 80 (Yellow wire) by backprobing. See Figure. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open or short circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  3. While turning ignition on and off, measure voltage between ground and PCM harness connector terminals No. 67, 72 and 117 (Black/White wires) by backprobing. Battery voltage should exist for a few seconds after turning ignition off. If voltage is as specified, go to step  8. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists for more than a few seconds, go to step  7.
  4. Disconnect ECCS relay harness connector. Measure voltage between ground and ECCS relay harness connector terminals No. 2 and 3 (Red wires). See Figure and Figure . If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open or short circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  5. Disconnect PCM harness connector. Check continuity of White/Green wire between PCM harness connector terminal No. 4 and ECCS relay harness connector terminal No. 1. See Figure and Figure . If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in White/Green wire.
  6. Check continuity of Black/White wires between ECCS relay harness connector terminal No. 5 and PCM harness connector terminals No. 67, 72 and 117. See Figure and Figure . If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black/White wire(s).
  7. Check ECCS relay. See RELAYS  under RELAYS & SOLENOIDS. Replace, if necessary and retest system. If relay is okay, go to next step.
  8. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connector. Check continuity between ground and PCM harness connector terminals No. 10, 19, 116 and 124 (Black wires) and terminals No. 25 and 32 (Black/Red wires). If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open ground circuit(s).
  9. No problem is indicated at this time. Problem may be intermittent. See TESTING PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article.
