    4. Is the measured voltage within specification?

      YES 

      NO 

      • If voltage is 0V, go to step  3. If it is more than 5.1V, go to step  2.
  2. Check short to battery in harness
    1. IG "OFF" and disconnect ECTS connector and ECM connector.
    2. Measure resistance between terminals 2 and 3 of ECTS harness connector.

      Specification: Infinite
