Signal Circuit Inspection

  1. Check voltage
    1. IG "OFF" and disconnect ECTS connector.
    2. IG "ON" & ENG "OFF"
    3. Measure voltage between terminal 3 of ECTS harness connector and chassis ground.

      Specification: Approx. 5V

    4. Is the measured voltage within specification?

      YES 

      NO 

      • If voltage is OK, go to step  3. If it is more than 5.1V, go to step  2.
  2. Check short to battery in harness
    1. IG "OFF" and disconnect ECTS connector and PCM connector.
    2. Measure resistance between terminals 2 and 3 of ECTS harness connector.

      Specification: Infinite

    3. Is the measured resistance within specification?

      YES 

      NO 

  3. Check open in harness
    1. IG "OFF" and disconnect ECTS connector and PCM connector.
    2. Measure resistance between terminal 3 of ECTS harness connector and terminal 7 of PCM harness connector.

      Specification: Below 1Ω

    3. Is the measured resistance within specification?

      YES 

      NO
