DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE:

Check to make sure that the following conditions are satisfied when using this DTC confirmation procedure.

- Intake air temp.: -14 °C, 6.8 °F or higher
- Altitude (barometric pressure): 2020 m, 6650 ft or less (540 mmHg, 72 kPa or more)

1) With ignition switch turned OFF, connect scan tool.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and clear DTC using scan tool.
3) Start engine and run it at idle for 5 min. or more.
4) Check DTC and pending DTC.

DTC Troubleshooting

1.
Was "Engine System Check" performed?
YES
Go to Step 2.
NO
Go to Engine System Check Engine System Check.

2. Check for voltage at terminal "C46-5" of ECM (PCM) connector connected, under the following condition.

Engine starter signal specification
While engine cranking: 6 - 14 V

Is voltage as specified?
YES
Poor "C46-5" connection or intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent referring to Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection.
If wire and connections are OK, substitute a known-good ECM (PCM) and recheck.
NO
Go to Step 3.

3. Starter signal circuit check

Turn OFF ignition switch.
Disconnect connectors from ECM (PCM).
Measure resistance between "C46-5" terminal in disconnected ECM (PCM) connector and "C45-26" terminal in disconnected ECM (PCM) connector.

Is resistance less than 100 ohms?
YES
Substitute a known-good ECM (PCM) and recheck.
NO
"BLK/YEL" circuit open or high resistance in "BLK/YEL" circuit.
