2004 Toyota Matrix XR, FWD, StandardSECTION Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check voltage between terminals +B and E1 or ECM connectors. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the glove compartment (see COMPONENTS ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the voltage between terminals +B and E1 of the ECM connectors.

    OK: 

    Voltage: 9 to 14V

    1. OK : Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table (see  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).  
    2. NG : Go to next step. 
  2. Check for open in wire harness between terminal E1 of ECM connector and body ground (see  HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE  in INTRODUCTION article).  
    1. NG : Repair or replace harness and connector. 
    2. OK : Go to next step. 
  3. Check voltage between terminal IGSW of ECM connector and body ground. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the glove compartment (see COMPONENTS ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    2. OK : Go to next step. 
  5. Check ignition switch (see  INSPECTION  in IGNITION SWITCH & KEY UNLOCK WARNING SYSTEM ARTICLE).  
    1. NG : Replace ignition switch. 
    2. OK : Check and repair harness and connector between battery and ignition switch, and ignition switch and ECM. 
  6. Check voltage between terminal MREL of ECM connector and body ground. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the glove compartment (see COMPONENTS ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure the voltage between terminal MREL of the ECM connector and body ground.

    OK: 

    Voltage: 9 to 14V

    1. NG : Replace EFI1 fuse. 
    2. OK : Go to next step. 
  8. Check EFI main relay. 

    PREPARATION: 

    Remove the EFI main relay from the engine room J/B.

    CHECK: 

    Inspect the EFI main relay.

    OK: 

    EFI RELAY

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

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.
