    1. OK: GO TO 2.
    2. NG: Repair terminal or connector.
  2. CHECK HARNESS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect ECM connector.
    2. Check the following.
    • Resistance between ECM harness connector F54 terminals 33 (L) and 34 (Y) (QR25DE models).
    • Resistance between ECM harness connector F54 terminals 109 (L) and 113 (Y) (VQ35DE models).
