Tacoma Except Calif. Emission Vehicles

  1. Remove glove box for access to ECM. For illustration of ECM location, see THEORY & OPERATION article. Note ECM electrical connector terminal identification. See Figure.
  2. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between terminals No. 23 (White/Red wire) at ECM electrical connector E5 and No. 16 (Brown wire) at ECM electrical connector E6. This is the +B and E1 terminals at ECM. Voltage should be 9-14 volts. If voltage is within specification, diagnose by symptom. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. If voltage is not within specification, check for open in wiring harness and electrical connectors between terminal No. 16 (Brown wire) at ECM electrical connector E6 and body ground. If wiring harness and electrical connectors are okay, go to next step. If wiring harness or electrical connector are defective, repair as necessary.
  3. Check operation of EFI main relay. See EFI MAIN RELAY  under MOTORS & RELAYS. If EFI main relay operates properly, go to next step. If EFI main relay is defective, replace EFI main relay.
  4. Check for defective EFI fuse. EFI fuse is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near battery. If EFI fuse is okay, go to next step. If EFI fuse is defective, repair short in wiring harness and components connected to EFI fuse. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  5. Check for open in wiring harness and electrical connectors between battery, EFI fuse and EFI main relay, and between EFI main relay and ECM. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If wiring harness and electrical connectors are okay, go to next step. If wiring harness or electrical connector are defective, repair as necessary.
  6. Check for defective IGN fuse. IGN fuse is located in fuse box behind driver's side of instrument panel. If IGN fuse is okay, go to next step. If IGN fuse is defective, repair short in wiring harness and components connected to IGN fuse. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  7. Check ignition switch. See appropriate STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. If ignition switch is okay, go to next step. If ignition switch is defective, replace ignition switch.
  8. Check for open in wiring harness and electrical connectors between ignition switch, IGN fuse and EFI main relay, and for open on White/Black wire between EFI main relay and body ground. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Repair wiring harness or electrical connectors as necessary.
