  2. Backprobe and measure voltage between ECM connector B01 terminal No. 7 (Green/White wire) and ground. See Figure . If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Green/White wire between ECM and ECM fuse in engine compartment fuse/relay box. Figure . If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
  3. Backprobe and measure voltage between ECM connector B01 terminal No. 8 and terminal No. 9 both Red/Yellow wire and ground. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Red/Yellow wire between ECM and EMS fuse in engine compartment fuse/relay box. Check connectors for loose, damaged or corroded terminals.
