Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK DTC  .
Check for DTC. Ref. to READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .>		 Is U1712 displayed in current malfunction? Go to step 2  . The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
2 CHECK ECM CONNECTOR  .
Check the connecting condition of ECM connector.		 Is the ECM connector correctly connected? Go to step 3  . Connect the ECM connector correctly.
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN BATTERY AND BATTERY SENSOR CONNECTOR  .
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the ground terminal from battery sensor. Ref. to BATTERY , NOTE, Repair Contents.>
  3. Disconnect the connector from battery sensor.
  4. Disconnect the positive terminal of battery.
  5. Measure the resistance of the harness between battery positive cable terminal and battery sensor connector.

Connector & terminal 
Positive cable terminal - (B78) No. 1: 		 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 4  . Repair the open circuit in harness between battery positive cable terminal and battery sensor connector.
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND BATTERY SENSOR CONNECTOR  .
  1. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
  2. Measure the resistance of harness between battery positive terminal and battery sensor connector.

Connector & terminal 
(B78) No. 1 - Battery positive terminal: 		 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Repair the poor contact of ECM connector or battery sensor connector. Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and battery sensor connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
