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
- INSPECT ECM (+B VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the A24 and B47 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions +B (A24-1) - E1 (B47-1) 9 to 14 V
OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
NG: Go to next step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the B47 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance between the terminal of the ECM connector and body ground.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions E1 (B47-1) - Body ground Below 1 - Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT ECM (IGSW VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the A24 and B47 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions IGSW (A24-9) - E1 (B47-1) 9 to 14 V
OK: Go to step 6
NG: Go to next step.
- CHECK FUSE (IGN FUSE)
- Remove the IGN fuse from the instrument panel J/B.
- Measure the IGN fuse resistance.
Standard resistance: Below 1
- Reinstall the IGN fuse.
NG: CHECK FOR SHORTS IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Inspect the ignition or starter switch assembly (See INSPECTION ).
NG: REPLACE IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT ECM (MREL VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the A24 and B47 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions MREL (A24-8) - E1 (B47-1) 9 to 14 V
NG: REPLACE ECM
OK: Go to next step.
- CHECK FUSE (EFI FUSE)
- Remove the EFI No. 1 fuse from the engine room R/B and J/B.
- Measure the EFI No. 1 fuse resistance.
Standard resistance: Below 1
- Reinstall the EFI No. 1 fuse.
NG: CHECK FOR SHORTS IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY (EFI RELAY)
- Remove the engine room junction block.
- Measure the EFI relay resistance.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions 1D-4 - 1D-6 10 k or higher 1D-4 - 1D-6 Below 1
(when battery voltage applied to terminals 1H-10 and 1H-2) - Reinstall the engine room junction block.
NG: REPLACE ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - ECM, EFI RELAY - BODY GROUND)
- Check the harness and connector between the EFI relay and ECM.Fig 8: Checking Harness And Connector Between Engine Room Junction Block (EFI Relay) And Body Ground

- Remove the engine room junction block.
- Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals of the ECM connector and engine room junction block (EFI relay).
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions Engine Room Junction Block (EFI relay) (1H-10) - MREL (A24-8) Below 1 Standard resistance (Check for short)
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions Engine Room Junction Block (EFI relay) (1H-10) or MREL (A24-8) - Body ground 10 k or higher
- Check the harness and connector between the engine room junction block (EFI relay) and body ground.
- Measure the resistance between the terminal of the engine room junction block (EFI relay) and body ground.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Connections Specified Conditions Engine Room Junction Block (EFI relay) (1H-2) - Body ground Below 1 - Reinstall the engine room junction block.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance between the terminal of the engine room junction block (EFI relay) and body ground.
OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
NG: CHECK AND REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TERMINAL +B OF ECM - BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL)
- Check the harness and connector between the EFI relay and ECM.

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.
