CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .
  1. CHECK M/B (MAIN RELAY)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Remove the M/B (main relay).
    3. Check the M/B (main relay). Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>MAIN RELAY>INSPECTION .

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Go to  2.

    No  : Replace the M/B (main relay). Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>MAIN RELAY .

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

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 69 - Chassis ground:

    (B134) No. 70 - Chassis ground:

    (B134) No. 71 - Chassis ground:

    (B134) No. 72 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

    Yes  : Go to  3.

    No  : Repair the harness and connector.

    NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
    • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and Chassis ground
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
  3. CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B134) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (B134) No. 56 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      Is the voltage 10 V or more?

      Yes  : Go to  4.

      No  : Repair the open or ground short in the harness of power supply circuit.

  4. CHECK M/B (MAIN RELAY) INPUT VOLTAGE  .

    Measure the voltage between M/B (main relay) terminal and chassis ground.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 10 V or more?

    Yes  : Go to  5.

    No  : Repair the open or ground short in the harness of power supply circuit.

  5. CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Install the M/B (main relay).
    3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B134) No. 12 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      Is the voltage 10 V or more?

      Yes  : Go to  6.

      No  : Repair the open circuit of harness between ECM connector and M/B (main relay) terminal.

  6. CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM  .
    1. Connect the connector to ECM.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B134) No. 67 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (B134) No. 68 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      Is the voltage 10 V or more?

      Yes  : Check ignition control system. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>DIAGNOSTICS WITH PHENOMENON>IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM .

      No  : Repair the harness and connector.

      NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
      • Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and M/B (main relay) connector
      • Poor contact of M/B (main relay) connector
      • Poor contact of ECM connector
      NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .
