Fuel and Emission Control System Precautions

Engine Fuel And Emission Control System:

Precautions




- Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition switch is turned off.




- When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown at left.




- When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.




- Before replacing ECM, perform "ECM Terminals and Reference Value" inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.




- After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform "DTC Confirmation Procedure" or "Overall Function Check".
The DTC should not be displayed in the "DTC Confirmation Procedure" if the repair is completed. The "Overall Function Check" should be a good result if the repair is completed.




- When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never allow the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and damage the ECM power transistor.
- Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than the ECM terminals, such as the ground.




- Regarding model I35, "B1" indicates the bank 1 and "B2" indicates the bank 2 as shown in the figure.
- Bank 1 includes No. 1 cylinder.
