CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>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) (H4DOTC)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL RELAY .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Remove the electronic throttle control relay.
3. Measure the resistance between electronic throttle control relay terminals.
  Terminals
  
  No. 1 - No. 3:
  
  Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?
  
  Yes: Go to 2 .
  
  No: Replace the electronic throttle control relay. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL RELAY .
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL RELAY (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure the voltage between M/B (electronic throttle control relay) terminal and engine ground.
  Terminals
  
  No. 3 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  Is the voltage 10 V or more?
  
  Yes: Repair the short circuit to power in the harness between ECM connector and M/B (electronic throttle control relay).
  
  No: Go to 3 .
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL RELAY (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B61) No. 36 - Engine ground:
  
  Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?
  
  Yes: Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
  
  No: Repair the short circuit to ground in the harness between ECM connector and M/B (electronic throttle control relay).
