Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection Procedure
- INSPECT FUSE (AM2)
- Remove the AM2 fuse from the engine room J/B.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω
NG: REPLACE FUSE
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK CONNECTORS
- Check that the connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
OK: The connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE CONNECTORS
OK: Go to Next Step
- Check that the connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (MAIN BODY ECU - BATTERY)
- Disconnect the E60 and E61 ECU connectors.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection (Symbols) Condition Specified Condition E61-6 (AM1) - Body ground Always 10 to 14 V E60-1 (AM2) - Body ground Always 10 to 14 V
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (MAIN BODY ECU - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the DF ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection (Symbols) Condition Specified Condition DF-10 (GND1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT RELAY (IG2 RELAY)
- Remove the IG2 relay from the engine room R/B No. 2.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω
(When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
NG: REPLACE RELAY
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ENGINE ROOM R/B - MAIN BODY ECU AND BODY GROUND)
- Remove the IG2 relay from the engine room R/B.
- Disconnect the E60 ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTerminal No. (Symbol) Specified Condition Engine room R/B IG2 relay terminal 1 - E60-11 (IG2D) Below 1 Ω Engine room R/B IG2 relay terminal 2 - Body ground Below 1 Ω E60-11 (IG2D) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT RELAY (IG1 RELAY)
- Remove the IG1 relay from the instrument panel J/B.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω
(when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
NG: REPLACE RELAY
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (INSTRUMENT PANEL J/B - MAIN BODY ECU)
- Disconnect the Dl J/B connector.
- Disconnect the E61 ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
