Control Module Power Supply And Ground Line

CAUTION: After repair or replacement of malfunctioning parts, conduct Clear Memory Mode < Ref. to OPERATION , CLEAR MEMORY MODE > and INSPECTION MODE  < Ref. to OPERATION , INSPECTION MODE. >
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK MAIN RELAY. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Remove main relay.
  3. Connect battery to main relay terminals No. 1 and No. 2.
  4. Measure resistance between main relay terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 3 - No. 5: 

    No. 4 - No. 6: 

Is the measured value less than 10 Ω? Go to step 2.  Replace main relay.
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF ECM. 
  1. Disconnect connector from ECM.
  2. Measure resistance of harness between ECM and chassis ground.
