CHECK AT THE ECU TERMINALS


1.Disconnect the engine-ECU connectors B-29 and B-30, and connect check harness special tool MB992110 between the engine-ECU connectors.
2.Measure the voltage between each check harness connector terminal and check harness connector earth terminal (No. 81 or No. 93).
3.Connect a needle-nosed wire probe to a voltmeter probe.
4.Referring to the check sheet, insert the micromini probe into the check harness connector and measure the voltage.
note
  1. You may find it convenient to pull out the engine-ECU to make it easier to reach the connector terminals.
  2. The checks can be carried out off the order given in the chart.
caution Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a connector terminal and earth could damage the vehicle wiring, the sensor, engine-ECU or all of them. Be careful to prevent this!
5.If voltmeter shows any division from standard value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and related electrical wiring, then repair or replace.
6.After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.

CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY BETWEEN TERMINALS


1.Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2.Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3.Measure the resistance and check for continuity between the terminals of the engine-ECU harness-side connector while referring to the check chart.
note
  1. When measuring resistance and checking continuity, a harness for checking contact pin pressure should be used instead of inserting a test probe.
  2. Checking need not be carried out in the order given in the chart.
caution If the terminals that should be checked are mistaken, or if connector terminals are not correctly shorted to earth, damage may be caused to the vehicle wiring, sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohmmeter.
Be careful to prevent this!
4.If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the standard value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and related electrical wiring, and the repair or replace.
5.After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter to confirm that the repair or replacement has corrected the problem.
