ECM Power Source Circuit

2010 Lexus LX 570 V8-5.7L (3UR-FE)SECTION ECM Power Source Circuit




3UR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: ECM Power Source Circuit
- ECM Power Source Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the engine switch is turned on (IG), the battery voltage is applied to the IGSW of the ECM. The output signal from the MREL terminal of the ECM causes a current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the integration relay (EFI relay) and supplying power to either terminal +B or +B2 of the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FUSES (IG2 MAIN, EFI MAIN AND IGN)





(a) Remove the IG2 MAIN fuse, EFI MAIN fuse and IGN fuse from the engine room relay block.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





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

2. INSPECT RELAY (IG2, EFI)





(a) Remove the integration relay from the engine room relay block.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





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

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





(a) Disconnect the C53 ECM connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





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

4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RELAY BLOCK - ECM, MAIN BODY ECU, BATTERY)





(a) Disconnect the A38 ECM connector.

(b) Disconnect the E2 main body ECU connector.

(c) Disconnect the cable from the battery positive (+) terminal.

(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





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

5. INSPECT ECM (IGSW VOLTAGE)





(a) Disconnect the A38 and C53 ECM connectors.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





NG -- CHECK SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START (POWER SOURCE MODE DOES NOT CHANGE)

OK -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INTEGRATION RELAY - ECM, BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

6. CHECK SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START (POWER SOURCE MODE DOES NOT CHANGE)

(a) Check the smart access system with push-button start Power Source Mode Does Not Change.

NG -- REPAIR SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INTEGRATION RELAY - ECM, BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)





(a) Disconnect the A38 ECM connector.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the battery positive terminal.

(c) Remove the integration relay from the engine room relay block.

(d) Disconnect the integration relay connector.

(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
