Inspection Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (START SWITCH 1 AND 2) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
    3. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Data List.
    4. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Main Body 

      DATA LIST REFERENCE

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE SWITCH - MAIN BODY ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the E78 engine switch connector.
    2. Disconnect the E16 main body ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E78-7 (SS1) - E16-10 (SSW1) Always Below 1 Ω
      E78-2 (SS2) - E16-9 (SSW2) Always Below 1 Ω
      E78-5 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      E78-7 (SS1) or E16-10 (SSW1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E78-2 (SS2) or E16-9 (SSW2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
