Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  1. Inspect ETCS fuse. 

    PREPARATION: 

    Remove the ETCS fuse from the F L block and J/B No. 1.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the resistance of the ETCS fuse.
