W/Harness Inspection

Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?
YES
- Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
- Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection" procedure.

Signal Circuit Inspection

1. Check open in harness
(1) IG "OFF" and disconnect knock sensor connector and ECM connector.
(2) Measure resistance between terminal 1 of knock sensor harness connector and terminal 54 of ECM harness connector.
(3) Measure resistance between terminal 2 of knock sensor harness connector and terminal 53 of ECM harness connector.
A. Specification : Below 1 Ohm




(4) Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES
- If the problem is corrected after substituting with a known-good knock sensor, replace it. If the problem is pending, check for proper operating after substituting with a known-good ECM. and then if the problem is corrected, replace ECM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
- Repair open in harness and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

CAUTION:
There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM. After testing ECM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the ECM on the others
