CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>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) (H4DO)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL OF ECM .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (E158) No. 99 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Yes : Go to 2 .

No : Go to 3 .
CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT .
Check for poor contact of ECM connector.

Is there poor contact of ECM connector?

Yes : Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

No : Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
CHECK INTAKE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID RH POWER SUPPLY .
Measure the voltage between intake oil control solenoid RH connector and engine ground.

Connector and terminal

(E38) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-):

Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Yes : Go to 4 .

No : Repair the following item.
- Open circuit or short circuit to ground in harness between M/B and intake oil control solenoid RH connector
- Blown out of fuse
- Poor contact of coupling connector
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND INTAKE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID RH CONNECTOR (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connector from the intake oil control solenoid RH.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (E158) No. 99 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Yes : Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness between ECM connector and intake oil control solenoid RH connector.

No : Go to 5 .
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND INTAKE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID RH CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Measure the resistance between intake oil control solenoid RH connector and engine ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (E38) No. 2 - Engine ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes : Go to 6 .

No : Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and intake oil control solenoid RH connector.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND INTAKE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID RH CONNECTOR (OPEN) .
Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and intake oil control solenoid RH connector.

Connector and terminal

(E158) No. 99 - (E38) No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes : Go to 7 .

No : Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM connector and intake oil control solenoid RH connector.
CHECK INTAKE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID RH .
Check the intake oil control solenoid RH. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>OIL CONTROL SOLENOID>INSPECTION .

Is the check result OK?

Yes : Repair the poor contact of intake oil control solenoid RH connector.

No : Replace the intake oil control solenoid RH. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>OIL CONTROL SOLENOID .
