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
Hand-held tester:
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND-HELD TESTER (OPERATION OF CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY)
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
- Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP / SPD".
- Check the relay operation while operating it with the hand-held tester.
Standard: Operating noise can be heard from the relay
- INSPECT ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
- INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY
- Remove the circuit opening relay from the instrument panel J/B.
- Check for continuity in the circuit opening relay.
Standard:
TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition 1-2 Continuity 3-5 No continuity Continuity
(Apply battery voltage to terminals 1 and 2) - Reinstall the circuit opening relay.
- INSPECT ECM (FC VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E3 and E6 ECM connectors.
Standard:
TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition FC (E6-10)-E01 (E3-7) 9 to 14 V
- OK : REPLACE ECM (See REPLACEMENT )
- NG : GO TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY)
- Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B
- Remove the circuit opening relay from the instrument panel J/B.
- Check the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.
Standard (Check for open):
TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition EFI relay (1) - Circuit opening relay (1) Below 1 Ω EFI relay (3) - Circuit opening relay (5) Standard (Check for short):
TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition EFI relay (1) or Circuit opening relay (1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher EFI relay (3) or Circuit opening relay (5) - Body ground - Reinstall the circuit opening relay.
- Reinstall the EFI 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.
