Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using a Techstream. 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 relay block.

    3. Check the ETCS fuse resistance.

      Standard Resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    4. 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

    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 relay block.

      3. Disconnect the E47 ECM connector.
      4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance (Check for open) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS SPECIFIED CONDITIONS CHART

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

        Standard Resistance (Check for short) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS SPECIFIED CONDITIONS CHART

        Tester Connections Specified Conditions
        ETCS fuse (2) or +BM (E47-7) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      5. Reinstall the ETCS fuse.
      6. 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 relay block.
      2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
      3. Disconnect the positive battery cable.
      4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance (Check for open) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS SPECIFIED CONDITIONS CHART

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

        Standard Resistance (Check for short) 

        TESTER CONNECTIONS SPECIFIED CONDITIONS CHART

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

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ECM  (See REMOVAL  )
