  1. Disconnect ECU connectors. While cranking engine, measure voltage between ground and ECU connector F120, terminal No. 17 (Black/White wire). If voltage is more than 8 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 8 volts, repair starter circuit as necessary.
  2. Turn ignition off. Measure resistance between ground and ECU connector F119, terminal No. 1 (Brown wire). If resistance is less than 10 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair wiring harness between ground and ECU.
