CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT
a. For an open circuit in the wire harness in Fig. 1, perform a resistance check (step b) or a voltage check (step c).
b. Check the resistance.
1. Disconnect connectors A and C and measure the resistance between them.
HINT: Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
If your results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector C.
2. Disconnect connectors B and measure the resistance between the connectors.
If your results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector B2 and terminal 1 of connector C.
c. Check the voltage.
1. In a circuit in which voltage is applied to the ECU connector terminal, an open circuit can be checked by conducting a voltage check.
FIG 4:
With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the body ground and these terminals (in this order): 1) terminal 1 of connector A at the ECU 5 V output terminal, 2) terminal 1 of connector B, and 3) terminal 1 of connector C.
2. Example results:
If your results match the examples above, an open circuit exists in the wire harness between terminal 1 of connector B and terminal 1 of connector C.

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.
