Inspection Procedure

  1. Check voltage between terminals +B and E1 or ECM connectors. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the glove compartment (see ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the voltage between terminals +B and E1 of the ECM connectors.

    OK: 

    Voltage: 9 to 14 V

  5. Check ignition switch (see  INSPECTION  ). 
    1. NG: Replace ignition switch. 
    2. OK: Check and repair harness and connector between battery and ignition switch, and ignition switch and ECM. 
  6. Check voltage between terminal MREL of ECM connector and body ground. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the glove compartment (see ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the voltage between terminal MREL of the ECM connector and body ground.

    OK: 

    Voltage: 9 to 14 V

    1. NG: Replace EFI1 fuse. 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step 
  8. Check EFI main relay. 

    PREPARATION: 

    Remove the EFI main relay from the engine room J/B.

    CHECK: 

    Inspect the EFI main relay.

    OK: 

    EFI MAIN RELAY TERMINALS RESISTANCE

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    3-5 10 kΩ or higher
    3-5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
