1GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: ECM Power Source Circuit

ECM Power Source Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the ignition switch is turned on, the battery voltage is applied to terminal IGSW of the ECM. The ECM MREL output signal causes a current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the EFI relay and supplying power to terminal +B of the ECM.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM holds the EFI relay ON for a maximum of 2 seconds to allow for the initial setting of the throttle valve.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT ECM (+B VOLTAGE)




(a) Turn the ignition switch on.
(b) Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E6 and E8 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage:





OK -- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

NG -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - BODY GROUND)




(a) Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
(b) Measure the resistance between the terminal of the ECM connector and body ground.
Standard resistance (Check for open):





(c) Reconnect the ECM connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT ECM (IGSW VOLTAGE)




(a) Turn the ignition switch on.
(b) Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E6 and E8 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage:





OK -- INSPECT ECM (MREL VOLTAGE)

NG -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK FUSE (IGN FUSE)




(a) Remove the IGN fuse from the driver side J/B.
(b) Measure the IGN fuse resistance.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ohms
(c) Reinstall the IGN fuse.

NG -- CHECK FOR SHORTS IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY




(a) Disconnect the I18 ignition switch connector.
(b) Check the resistance.
Standard resistance:





(c) Reconnect the ignition switch connector.

NG -- REPLACE IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY
OK -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - IGNITION SWITCH, IGNITION SWITCH - ECM)
6. INSPECT ECM (MREL VOLTAGE)




(a) Turn the ignition switch on.
(b) Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E6 and E8 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage:





NG -- REPLACE ECM
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK FUSE (EFI FUSE)




(a) Remove the EFI fuse from the engine room R/B.
(b) Measure the EFI fuse resistance.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ohms
(c) Reinstall the EFI fuse.

NG -- CHECK FOR SHORTS IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.

8. INSPECT EFI RELAY (EFI RELAY)




(a) Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B.
(b) Check the EFI relay resistance.
Standard resistance:





(c) Reinstall the EFI relay.

NG -- REPLACE EFI RELAY
OK -- Continue to next step.

9. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - ECM, EFI RELAY - BODY GROUND)




(a) Check the harness and connector between the EFI relay and ECM.
(1) Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B.
(2) Disconnect the E8 ECM connector.
(3) Measure the resistance between the terminals of the ECM connector and EFI relay terminal.
Standard resistance (Check for open):





Standard resistance (Check for short):





(b) Check the harness and connector between the EFI relay and body ground.
(1) Measure the resistance between the terminal of the EFI relay and body ground.
Standard resistance (Check for open):





(2) Reinstall the EFI relay.
(3) Reconnect the ECM connector.
OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

NG -- CHECK AND REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TERMINAL +B OF ECM - BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL)
