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 FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B134) No. 32 (+) - Engine 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 (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
    2. Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B134) No. 48 - Engine ground:

      (B134) No. 47 - Engine ground:

      (B134) No. 63 - Engine ground:

      (E159) No. 2 - Engine ground:

      (E159) No. 10 - Engine ground:

    Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

    Yes:  Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

    No:  Repair the following item.

    • Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and engine ground
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
