Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction (See FREEZE FRAME DATA ).

  1. CHECK FUSE (ETCS FUSE) 
    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B.
    2. Measure the resistance of the ETCS fuse.

      Standard Resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    3. Reinstall the ETCS fuse.

    NG: REPLACE ETCS FUSE

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT ECM (+BM VOLTAGE) 
    1. Disconnect the A10 ECM connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

    3. Reconnect the ECM connector.

    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 A10 ECM connector.
      3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance (Check for open) 

        TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        Engine room R/B ETCS fuse terminal 2 - +BM (A10-3) Below 1 Ω

        Standard Resistance (Check for short) 

        TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        Engine room R/B ETCS fuse terminal 2 or +BM (A10-3) - 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 negative battery terminal.
      3. Disconnect the positive battery terminal.
      4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance (Check for open) 

        TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        Positive battery terminal - Engine room R/B ETCS fuse terminal 1 Below 1 Ω

        Standard Resistance (Check for short) 

        TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        Positive battery terminal or Engine room R/B ETCS fuse terminal 1 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

      5. Reinstall the ETCS fuse.
      6. Reconnect the positive battery terminal.
      7. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ECM (See  REMOVAL  )
