    • 15 A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between fuel injector and fuse

    Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 21, 22, 23, 40, 41, 42, 44, 63 and fuel injector terminal 2. Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

      Continuity should exist  .

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 6.

    NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  6. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".
