Pretesting Inspection

If ECI system components fail, interruption of fuel supply or failure to supply proper amount of fuel for engine operation will result. The following conditions will result: engine is hard to start or does not start at all, unstable idle and/or poor driveability. Before testing ECI system, perform basic engine checks first (ignition system, incorrect engine adjustments, etc.).

(1) If ignition switch is turned on for 15 seconds or more, the reading drops to 1V or less momentarily and returns to 6 to 13V.

(2) It indicates 6V a moment (very short time). If it is difficult to read the indication, repeat to turn the air conditioner switch off and on or on and off several times. If voltmeter swings, the components are in good condition.
