CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .

NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B134) No. 67 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  (B134) No. 68 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage 10 - 13 V?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Repair the open or short to ground in the power supply circuit.
CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF ECM.
1. Start the engine.
2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B134) No. 67 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  (B134) No. 68 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage 13 - 15 V?

Yes: Go to 3.

No: Repair the open or short to ground in the power supply circuit.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CONNECTOR (OPEN).
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connectors from electronic throttle control.
4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and electronic throttle control connector.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E158) No. 27 - (E57) No. 5:
  
  (E158) No. 30 - (E57) No. 3:
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Go to 4.

No: Repair the open circuit of harness between ECM connector and electronic throttle control connector.
CHECK ECM GROUND HARNESS.
1. Connect all connectors.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B134) No. 69 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  (B134) No. 70 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  (B134) No. 71 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  (B134) No. 72 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Yes: Check the connector for poor contact and check the harness. Replace the ECM if no fault is found. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .

No: Repair the following item.
- Open circuit in ground circuit
- Loose engine ground terminal
- Poor contact of coupling connector
