Momentary Interruption Test

If Code 13, 22, 24, 41 or 47 is stored in ECU memory during diagnosis and no trouble can be found with these circuits, perform MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION TEST.

  1. Clear codes from ECU memory. See CLEARING CODES. With ignition off, connect a jumper wire between terminals E1 and TE2 of TDCL connector.
  2. Start engine. Ensure CHECK ENGINE light goes out. Pull lightly on wires, and apply vibration to connectors and relays associated with diagnostic codes.
  3. If CHECK ENGINE light glows during this test, a fault is in indicated connector or location in wiring harness. Repair as necessary.
  4. Clear diagnostic codes. Start engine. If CHECK ENGINE light does not go out, check thoroughly for faulty connections. Perform MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION TEST again. If CHECK ENGINE light still will not go out, see CONTROL UNIT under COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS in I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
NOTE: Electronically Controlled Transaxle/Transmission (ECT) uses same ECU as EFI system.
