CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>General Description>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .
NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure>PROCEDURE .
  1. CHECK BLOW-BY HOSE  .

    Check the blow-by hose condition.

    Is there any disconnection or crack in blow-by hose?

    Yes  : Install or replace the blow-by hose.

    No  : Go to  2.

  2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND BLOW-BY DIAGNOSIS CONNECTOR (OPEN)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
    3. Disconnect the connector from blow-by diagnosis connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and blow-by diagnosis connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (E158) No. 22 - (E110) No. 2:

      (E159) No. 12 - (E110) No. 1:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes  : Go to  3.

    No  : Repair the following item.

    • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and blow-by diagnosis connector
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
    • Poor contact of J/C
  3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND BLOW-BY DIAGNOSIS CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND)  .

    Measure the resistance between the blow-by diagnosis connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E158) No. 22 - Engine ground:

    (E159) No. 12 - Engine ground:

    Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

    Yes  : Go to  4.

    No  : Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and blow-by diagnosis connector.

  4. CHECK PCV HOSE ASSEMBLY  .

    Measure the resistance between blow-by diagnosis connector terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 - No. 2:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes  : Repair the poor contact of ECM and blow-by diagnosis connector.

    No  : Replace the PCV hose assembly. Ref. to EMISSION CONTROL (AUX. EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES) (H4DOTC)>PCV HOSE ASSEMBLY .
