Inspection Procedure 4: Check the Power Supply and Earth Circuit to the Immobilizer-ECU.







COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


The power supply and earth circuit to the immobilizer ECU may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES


Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Connector check: Immobilizer-ECU connector C-142.




Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 in order to check the battery circuit of power supply system to the immobilizer-ECU.




(1)Disconnect the immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 and measure the voltage at immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position.

(3)Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and earth.
OK: Battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Connector check: Engine control relay connector A-20X.



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between engine control relay connector A-20X (terminal 3) and immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 (terminal 1).







note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connector C-52 <L.H. drive vehicles> or C-34 <R.H. drive vehicles>, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the power supply line for open circuit.

Q. Are the wiring harness between engine control relay connector A-20X (terminal 3) and immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 (terminal 1) in good condition?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Resistance measurement at immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 to check the earth circuit to the immobilizer-ECU connector.




(1)Disconnect the immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 and measure the resistance at immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position.

(3)Measure the resistance between terminal 2 and earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

The procedure is complete.

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 (terminal 2) and earth.






note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check joint connector C-120, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q. Are the wiring harness between immobilizer-ECU connector C-142 (terminal 2) and earth in good condition?

The procedure is complete.

Repair the wiring harness.
