Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED 
    1. Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the table below.

      Result 

      MIL IS ILLUMINATED

      Result Proceed to
      MIL remains ON A
      MIL does not illuminate B

    B:  Go to step  5

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
    3. Enter the following menus:
      1. Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
      2. Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
    4. Check if any DTCs have been stored. Note down any DTCs.
    5. Clear DTCs (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
    6. 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 )

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS) 
    1. Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Check that the MIL is not illuminated.

      OK: MIL is not illuminated.

    NG: Go to step 4 

    OK: REPLACE ECM  (see REMOVAL  )

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
    2. Disconnect the J28 combination meter connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      COMBINATION METER - ECM

      Tester 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 )

  5. CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED 
    1. 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 

  6. CHECK THAT ENGINE STARTS 
    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    2. Start the engine.

      Result 

      ENGINE RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      Engine starts A
      Engine does not start* B
      HINT:
      *: The intelligent tester or Techstream cannot communicate with the ECM.

    B:  GO TO VC OUTPUT CIRCUIT 

    A: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
    2. Disconnect the J28 combination meter connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      COMBINATION METER - ECM

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A24-24 (W) - J28-5 (CHK) Always Below 1 Ω
