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
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATION OF C/OPN RELAY)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Active Test/Control the Fuel Pump/Speed.
- Check whether operating sounds can be heard while operating the relay using the Techstream.
OK:
Operating sounds can be heard from relay.
OK: Go to step 7
NG: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
OK: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT C/OPN RELAY
- Disconnect the 1A, 1B, 1D and 1E instrument panel junction block connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition 1B (11) - 1A (8) 10 kΩ or higher 1B (11) - 1A (8) Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1E (5) and 1D (1)) - Reconnect the instrument panel junction block connectors.
NG: REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT ECM (FC VOLTAGE)
- Disconnect the E4 and E8 ECM connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition FC (E4-25) - E1 (E8-3) 9 to 14 V - Reconnect the ECM connectors.
OK: REPLACE ECM (See REMOVAL )
NG: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (IGNITION SWITCH - C/OPN RELAY)
- Disconnect the 15 ignition switch connector.
- Disconnect the 1F instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition IG2 (I5-6) - Instrument panel junction block (1F-4) Below 1 Ω IG2 (I5-6) or Instrument panel junction block (1F-4) -Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the ignition switch connector.
- Reconnect the instrument panel junction block connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ECM - C/OPN RELAY)
- Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
- Disconnect the 1E instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition FC (E4-25) - Instrument panel junction block (1E-5) Below 1 Ω FC (E4-25) or Instrument panel junction block (1 E-5) -Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the ECM connector.
- Reconnect the instrument panel junction block connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE ECM (See REMOVAL )
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP
- Inspect the fuel pump (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP (See REMOVAL )
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (FUEL PUMP - C/OPN RELAY, BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the 1A instrument panel junction block connector.
- Disconnect the F9 fuel pump connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition Instrument panel junction block (1A-8) - Fuel pump (F9-4) Below 1 Ω Fuel pump (F9-S) - Body ground Below 1 Ω Instrument panel junction block (1A-8) or Fuel pump (F9-4) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the instrument panel junction block connector.
- Reconnect the fuel pump connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: CHECK AND REPAIR HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - C/OPN RELAY)

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.
