Hand-held tester: 

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING HAND-HELD TESTER (OPERATION OF CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY) 
    1. Connect a hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester ON.
    3. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP/ SPD.
    4. Check whether operating sounds can be heard while operating the relay using the tester.

    OK: Operating sounds can be heard from relay. 

    1. OK: Go to step   7  .
    2. NG: Go to next step. 
  2. INSPECT ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT (See  ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT  )

    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  3. INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY 
    1. Remove the circuit opening relay from the instrument panel J/B.
    2. Check the circuit opening relay resistance.

      Standard: 

      CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY

      Tester Connections Specified Conditions
      3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2)

    1. OK: REPLACE ECM (See  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    2. NG: Go to next step 
  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY) 
    1. Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B.
    2. Remove the circuit opening relay from the instrument panel J/B.
    3. Check the resistance.

      Standard (Check for open): 

      EFI RELAY - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (CHECK FOR OPEN)

      Tester Connections Specified Conditions
      EFI relay (3) - Circuit opening relay (1) Below 1 Ω
      EFI relay (3) - Circuit opening relay (5) Below 1 Ω

      Standard (Check for short): 

      EFI RELAY - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (CHECK FOR SHORT)

      Tester Connections Specified Conditions
      EFI relay (3) or Circuit opening relay (1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      EFI relay (3) or Circuit opening relay (5) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
