    4. Check whether operating sounds can be heard while operating the relay using the tester.

      OK: 

      Operating sounds can be heard from relay. 

    OK:  Go to step  7

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT 
    1. Inspect the ECM power source circuit (See ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT  ).

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY 
    1. Remove the circuit opening relay from the instrument panel J/B.

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.
