Inspection of ECM and Its Circuits

CAUTION: ECM and its circuits can be checked by measuring voltage and pulse signal with special tool connected. It is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to ECM with ECM connectors disconnected from it.

Reference waveform

NOTE:
- Waveform analysis is as follows.






- Waveform might change for measurement condition and vehicle'spec.
