Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT ECM (+B VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    2. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E4 and E6 ECM connectors.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      +B(E6-1)-E1 (E4-7) 8 to 14 V

    • OK : REPLACE ECM (See  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    • NG : GO TO NEXT STEP 
  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
    2. Check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard (Check for open): 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E1 (E4-7) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
    3. Reconnect the ECM connector.

    • NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 
    • OK : Go to next step 
  3. INSPECT IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSY 
    1. Disconnect the I10 ignition switch connector.
    2. Check for continuity between the connector terminals shown in the chart below.
      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Switch Position Tester Connection Specified Condition
      LOCK All Terminals No continuity
      ACC 1-3 Continuity
      ON 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, 5-6 Continuity
      START 1-2, 4-5, 4-6, 5-6 Continuity
    3. Reconnect the ignition switch connector.

    • NG : REPLACE IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSY 
    • OK : Go to next step 
  4. CHECK FUSE (EFI FUSE) 
    1. Remove the EFI fuse from the engine room R/B.
    2. Check for continuity in the EFI fuse.

      Standard: Continuity 

    3. Reinstall the EFI fuse.

    • NG : CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESSES AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED FUSE 
    • OK : Go to next step 
  5. INSPECT EFI RELAY 
    1. Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B.
    2. Check for continuity in the circuit EFI relay.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1-2 Continuity
      3-5 No continuity
      Continuity
      (Apply battery voltage to terminals 1 and 2)
    3. Reinstall the EFI fuse.

    • NG : REPLACE EFI RELAY 
    • OK : Go to next step 
  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - ECM, EFI RELAY - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Check the harness and connector between the EFI relay and ECM.
      1. Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B.
      2. Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
      3. Check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.

        Standard (Check for open): 

        TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION
