Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. Check ETCS fuse. 

   PREPARATION: 

   Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B.

   CHECK: 

   Check the resistance of the ETCS fuse.

   OK: 

   Resistance : Below 1 Ω

2. Check voltage between terminal +BM of ECM connector and body ground. 

   PREPARATION: 

   Remove the glove compartment (see ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ).

   CHECK: 

   Measure the voltage between terminal +BM of the ECM connector and body ground.

   OK: 

   Voltage: 9 to 14 V
