- Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the table below.
Result
MIL IS ILLUMINATEDResult Proceed to MIL remains ON A MIL does not illuminate B
B: Go to step 5
A: Go to next step
- Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the table below.
- CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF
- Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus:
- Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
- Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
- Check if any DTCs have been stored. Note down any DTCs.
- Clear DTCs (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
- Check if the MIL goes off.
Standard:
MIL goes off
NG: Go to step 3
OK: REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
- Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Check that the MIL is not illuminated.
OK: MIL is not illuminated.
NG: Go to step 4
OK: REPLACE ECM (see REMOVAL )
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
- Disconnect the J28 combination meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
COMBINATION METER - ECMTester Connection Condition Specified Condition A24-24 (W) or J28-5 (CHK) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY (See REMOVAL )
- CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED
- Check if the MIL is illuminated when the ignition switch is turned ON.
OK: MIL should be illuminated.
NG: Go to step 6
OK: SYSTEM OK

*: The intelligent tester or Techstream cannot communicate with the ECM.
B: GO TO VC OUTPUT CIRCUIT
A: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
- Disconnect the J28 combination meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
COMBINATION METER - ECMTester Connection Condition Specified Condition A24-24 (W) - J28-5 (CHK) Always Below 1 Ω
