Diagnosis & Repair
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove glove box for access to ECM with electrical connectors still installed on ECM. See Figure. Using voltmeter, check voltage between body ground and terminal No. 1 (Black/Red wire) at ECM electrical connector E8. See Figure. This is the BATT terminal on ECM. Voltage should be 9-14 volts. If voltage is not within specification, go to next step. If voltage is within specification, replace ECM.
- Remove EFI No. 1 fuse (15-amp) from fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment. Inspect EFI No. 1 fuse. If EFI No. 1 fuse is okay, reinstall fuse. Check wiring harness and electrical connectors between EFI No. 1 fuse and ECM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. It may be necessary to check wiring between battery and EFI No. 1 fuse. For additional wiring for EFI fuse to the battery, see POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS. If EFI No. 1 fuse is defective, replace EFI No. 1 fuse and check for short in wiring harness and components connected to EFI No. 1 fuse. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Repair wiring harness or electrical connectors as necessary.
