  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground while wiggling the harness between ECM connector and F/B connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B137) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-): 

Is the voltage 8 V or more all the time? Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
NOTE: In this case, the following items may be the cause of fault.
  • Open circuit or short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and F/B connector
  • Poor contact of fuse (F/B No. 5)
  • Poor contact of IG2 relay connector
  • Poor contact of IG2 relay
Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit or short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and F/B connector
  • Poor contact of fuse (F/B No. 5)
  • Poor contact of IG2 relay connector
  • Poor contact of IG2 relay
