PCM INSPECTION [FN4A-EL]

CAUTION:
- Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.

NOTE:
- The PCM terminal voltage can vary with conditions when measuring and changes due to age deterioration on the vehicle, causing false diagnosis. Therefore a comprehensive inspection of the input and output systems, and the PCM is necessary to determine where the malfunction occurs.

1. Remove the PCM connector cover. PCM Removal/Installation

2. Connect the voltmeter (-) lead to body GND.

3. Measure the voltage at each terminal.

- If any incorrect voltage is detected, inspect the related system(s), wiring harnesses and connector(s) referring to the "Inspection Item" column in the "PCM Terminal Voltage".
