Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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. CHECK FUSE (ETCS FUSE) 
    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B.
    2. Check the ETCS fuse resistance.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω. 

    3. Reinstall the ETCS fuse.

    NG: CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT ECM (+BM VOLTAGE) 
    1. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the B2 and E47 ECM connectors.

      Standard Voltage 

      STANDARD VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connections Specified Conditions
      +BM (E47-7) - ME01 (B2-3) 11 to 14 V

    OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 

    NG: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - ETCS FUSE, ETCS FUSE - BATTERY) 
    1. Check the harness and connector between the ETCS fuse and ECM.
      1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B.
      2. Disconnect the E47 ECM connector.
      3. Check the resistance.

        Standard Resistance (Check for open) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

        Tester Connections Specified Conditions
        ETCS fuse (2) - +BM (E47-7) Below 1 Ω

        Standard Resistance (Check for short) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

        Tester Connections Specified Conditions
        ETCS fuse (2) or +BM (E47-7) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      4. Reinstall the ETCS fuse.
      5. Reconnect the ECM connector.
    2. Check the harness and connector between the ETCS fuse and positive battery cable.
      1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B.
      2. Disconnect the positive battery cable.
      3. Check the resistance.

        Standard Resistance (Check for open) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

        Tester Connections Specified Conditions
        Positive battery cable - ETCS fuse (1) Below 1 Ω

        Standard Resistance (Check for short) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

        Tester Connections Specified Conditions
        Positive battery cable or ETCS fuse (1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      4. Reinstall the ETCS fuse.
      5. Reconnect the positive battery cable.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ECM  (See REMOVAL  )
