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.
Diagnostic Tools
The ECC system requires a circuit tester, stethoscope and a dry cell battery for diagnosis. The circuit tester is used to measure voltage and resistance of check connectors I-VI. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . It is also used to measure resistance of duty solenoids and vacuum sensor after lead connectors are unplugged. The stethoscope or vinyl tube is used to check operating sound from duty solenoid valves. The dry cell battery is used to test O2 sensor and its wiring for defects.
