DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND STARTER RELAY CONNECTOR  .
  1. Turn the ignition to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
  3. Remove the starter relay.
  4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and starter relay connector.
NOTE: For CVT model, place the select lever in "P" range or "N" range.

Connector & terminal 
(B134) No. 8 - (B225) No. 1: 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step . Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:

  • Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and starter relay connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND STARTER RELAY CONNECTOR  .
  1. Disconnect the connector from starter motor.
  2. Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 8 - Engine ground: 

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? Repair the poor contact of ECM connector. Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and starter relay connector.
