Inspection Procedure 20: Engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> power supply, engine control relay, ignition switch-IG1 system












OPERATION



  • The battery voltage is applied to the engine control relay (terminal No. 2 and 3).
  • The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 57) makes the power transistor in the unit be in "ON" position and makes currents go on the engine control relay coil, and that makes the relay be in "ON" position.
  • When the engine control relay is in "ON" position, the battery voltage is supplied to the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 34 and No. 43), the sensor and the actuator from the engine control relay (terminal No. 1).

FUNCTION



  • When the ignition switch ON signal is input to the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> places the engine control relay in the ON position. Accordingly, the battery voltage is supplied to the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>, sensor and actuator.

PROBABLE CAUSE



  • Failed engine control relay
  • Open/short circuit in engine control relay circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
