2.
Disconnect the ECM connector (A).
TEST ECM GROUND CIRCUIT: Measure resistance between ECM and chassis ground using the backside of ECM harness connector as ECM side check point. If the problem is found, repair it.
Specification: below 1Ω
TEST ECM CONNECTOR: Disconnect the ECM connector and visually check the ground terminals on ECM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found, repair it.
If problem is not found in Step 1 and 2, the ECM could be faulty. If so, replace the ECM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If the vehicle operates normally then the problem was likely with the ECM.
RE-TEST THE ORIGINAL ECM : Install the original ECM (may be broken) into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs again, replace the original ECM with a new one. If problem does not occur, this is intermittent problem (Refer to Intermittent Problem Procedure in Basic Inspection Procedure)
When replacing the ECM, the vehicle equipped with immobilizer must be performed the procedure as below.
Perform "Neutral mode" procedure with GDS. (Refer to "Immobilizer" in BE group)
Insert the key and turn it to the IGN ON and OFF position.
Then the ECM key register process is completed automatically.
Insert the key and turn it to the IGN ON and OFF position.
Then the ECM key register process is completed automatically.
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
Disconnect the ECM connector (A).
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
Remove the bracket installation bolts (A).
Remove the installation screws (A), and then remove the ECM from the bracket.
