ENGINE CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM SYMPTOMS

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK MAIN RELAY.  Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Remove the main relay. Connect the battery to main relay terminals No. 1 and No. 2. Measure the resistance between main relay terminals. Terminals  No. 3 - No. 5:  No. 4 - No. 6:	Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?	Go to step 2  .	Replace the main relay.
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF ECM.  Disconnect the connector from ECM. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and chassis ground. Connector & terminal  (B134) No. 6 - Chassis ground:  (B134) No. 7- Chassis ground:  (B134) No. 34 - Chassis ground:  (B135) No. 1 - Chassis ground:  (B135) No. 4 - Chassis ground:  (B135) No. 12 - Chassis ground:  (B137) No. 1 - Chassis ground:  (B137) No. 2 - Chassis ground:  (B137) No. 7-Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?	Go to step 3  .	Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM connector and engine grounding terminal.
3 CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM.  Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal  (B135) No. 19 (+) - Chassis ground (-):  (B137) No. 15 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage more than 10 V?	Go to step 4  .	Repair the open or ground short circuit of power supply circuit.
4 CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF MAIN RELAY.  Measure the voltage between main relay connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal  (B47) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):  (B47) No. 5 (+) - Chassis ground (-):  (B47) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage more than 10 V?	Go to step 5  .	Repair the open or ground short circuit in harness of power supply circuit.
5 CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM.  Connect the main relay connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal  (B135) No. 5 (+) - Chassis ground (-):  (B135) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-):  (B137) No. 17(+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage more than 10 V?	Check the ignition control system. < Ref. to , IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM , Diagnostics for Engine Starting Failure. >	Repair the open or ground short circuit in harness between ECM connector and main relay connector.
