  1. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B136) No. 5 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (B136) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 10 V or more?

    Yes:  Repair the short circuit to power in the harness between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

    No:  Go to  2

  2. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR ECM  .
    1. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
    2. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B134) No. 3 - Chassis ground:

      (B134) No. 4 - Chassis ground:

      (B134) No. 6 - Chassis ground:

      (B137) No. 1 - Chassis ground:

      (B137) No. 3 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

    Yes:  Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

    No:  Repair the harness and connector.

    NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
    • Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and engine ground
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
