Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATION OF CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
    3. Enter the following menus: 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. 

    OK : Go to step   7 

    NG : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT 
    1. Inspect the ECM power source circuit (see INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ).

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (Marking: C/OPN) 
    1. Remove the circuit opening relay from the instrument panel junction block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the circuit opening relay.

      Standard resistance

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.
