Electrical systems consist of a lot of harness and connectors, poor connection of terminals can cause various problems and damage of component.
Perform checking procedure as follows.
2.1) Check damage of harness and terminals : Check terminals for contact resistance, corrosion and deformation.
2.2) Check connecting condition of ECM and component connector : Check terminal separation, damage of locking device and connecting condition between terminal and wiring.
Disconnect the pin which requires checking at male connector and insert it to the terminal at female connector for checking connecting condition.(After checking, reconnect the pin at correct position.)
Is the problem found?
![]() | ▶ Repair the trouble causing part and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
![]() | ▶ Go to "Power Circuit Inspection". |
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect DPS connector.
IG KEY "ON".
Measure the voltage of DPS power supply terminal.
Specification : 4.8V~5.1V
Is the measured voltage within the specification?
![]() | ▶ Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection". |
![]() | ▶ Repair open in power circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair". |
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect DPS connector.
IG KEY "ON".
Measure the voltage of DPS signal terminal.
Specification : 4.8V~5.1V
Is the measured voltage within the specification?
![]() | ▶ Go to "Ground Inspectiont". |
![]() | ▶ Repair opne in signal circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair". |
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect DPS connector and ECM connector.
Check continuity between DPS connector terminal and ECM connector terminal.
Specification : Continuity ( below 1.0Ω )
Is the measured resistance within the specification?
![]() | ▶ Go to "Check short to battery in signal circuit" as follows. |
![]() | ▶ Repair open in DPS signal circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair". |
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect DPS connector and ECM connector.
IG KEY "ON".
Measure the voltage of DPS signal terminal.
Specification : 0.0V~0.1V
Is abnormal voltage detected in the circuit with both connector disconnected?
![]() | ▶ Repair short to battery in signal circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair". |
![]() | ▶ Go to "Ground Circuit Inspectiont". |
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect DPS connector.
IG KEY "ON".
Measure the voltage between DPS signal terminal and chassis ground. [ TEST "A" ]
Measure the voltage between DPS signal terminal and ground terminal. [ TEST "B" ]
( terminal 1 : Check + prove , terminal 3 : Check - prove )
Specification : [TEST "A"] Voltage - [TEST "B"] Voltage = below 200mV
Is the measured voltage within the specification?
![]() | ▶ Go to "Component Inspection". |
![]() | ▶ When "B" voltage is not detected : Repair open in ground circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair". ▶ When the voltage difference between "A" and "B" is above 200mV : Eliminate the causes of excessive resistance and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair". |
