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  . 

  1. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the connector from the leak check valve assembly.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Measure the voltage between the leak check valve assembly connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (R400) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      Is the voltage 10 V or more?

      Yes  : Repair the short circuit to power in harness between ECM connector and leak check valve assembly connector.

      No  : Go to  2.

  2. CHECK LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Check the switching valve of the leak check valve assembly. Ref. to EMISSION CONTROL (AUX. EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES) (H4DOTC)>LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY>INSPECTION>CHECK SWITCHING VALVE .

      Is the check result OK?

      Yes  : Repair the poor contact in the leak check valve assembly connector.

      No  : Replace the leak check valve assembly. Ref. to EMISSION CONTROL (AUX. EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES) (H4DOTC)>LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY .
