Pin Voltage Charts

NOTE: All voltage tests should be performed with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in testing procedures. Voltage readings may vary slightly due to battery condition or charging rate.
  1. ECU circuits are checked at the ECU connector under one or more of the following conditions: ignition switch off, ignition on and engine off, or ignition on and engine running.
  2. To test pin voltage, carefully backprobe terminal at harness side of ECU connector. Test between indicated terminal No. and body ground. See Fig 1 . Use wire color to help identify terminal. See WIRING COLOR CODE table and ECU CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION tables.
  3. If resistance or voltage is not as specified, test and repair, or replace, circuit or affected component. See ECU PIN SPECIFICATIONS (XT & XT6) table. Retest circuit to verify repair has been made. Unless stated otherwise, perform all tests with ECU harness connected.
