Diagnosis & Repair (Using OBD-II Scan Tool) - SC300 & SC400

  1. Access ECM under front of carpet on passenger side of vehicle. On SC300, backprobing ECM connector, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 2 (Green/Red wire) at ECM E18 connector. See Figure. On SC400, backprobing ECM connector, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 17 (Green/Red wire) at ECM E18 connector. See Figure.
  2. Turn ignition switch to START position. With starter being cranked, voltage should be 6 volts or more. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step. If voltage is as specified, no problem is indicated at this time. Diagnose by symptom. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
  3. Check for open in wiring harness between ECM and starter relay. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Repair as necessary. If wiring is okay, replace ECM and retest.
