Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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 FUSE (ETCS) 
    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room J/B.
    2. Measure the resistance of the ETCS fuse.

      Resistance: Below 1 ohms

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT ECM (+BM VOLTAGE) 
    1. Measure the voltage of the ECM connectors.

    OK: REPLACE ECM 

    NG: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ECM - ETCS FUSE, ETCS FUSE - BATTERY) 
    1. Check the wire harness between the ETCS fuse and ECM.
      1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room J/B.
      2. Disconnect the E5 ECM connector.
      3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Resistance 

      ETCS FUSE AND ECM

      Tester connection Specified Condition
      J/B ETCS fuse terminal 2 - E5-6 (+BM) Below 1 ohms
      J/B ETCS fuse terminal 2 or E5-6 (+BM) - Body ground 10 k ohms or higher
    2. Check the wire harness between the ETCS fuse and battery.
      1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room J/B.
      2. Disconnect the battery's positive cable.
      3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

        Resistance 

        ETCS FUSE AND BATTERY

        Tester connection Specified Condition
        Battery positive cable - J/B ETCS fuse terminal 1 Below 1 ohms
        Battery positive cable or J/B ETCS fuse terminal 1 - Body ground 10 k ohms or higher
