Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES
- Go to 2 "Check ECM/PCM" as follows.
NO
- Substitute with a known - good ECTS and check for proper operation.
- If the problem is corrected, replace ECTS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

Check ECM/PCM.
1. IG "OFF" and disconnect ECTS connector.
2. Connect scantool and Key "ON".
3. Select simulation function on scantool.
4. Simulate voltage at terminal 1 of ECTS signal connector.

5. Does the signal value of ECTS change according to simulation voltage?
  YES
  - Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  NO
  - Substitute with a known - good ECM/PCM and check for proper operation.
  - If the problem is corrected, replace ECM/PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM/PCM.
Before or after testing ECM/PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the ECM/PCM
