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
- CHECK ECM (+B VOLTAGE)
- Turn the power switch ON (IG).
- Measure the voltage between the specified terminals of the E5 and E7 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition E7-4 (+B) - E5-28 (E1) 9 to 14 V
OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN ON PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

NG: Go to next step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the E5 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition E5-28 (E1) - Body ground Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step.
- CHECK ECM (IGSW VOLTAGE)
- Turn the power switch ON (IG).
- Measure the voltage between the specified terminals of the E5 and E6 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition E6-9 (IGSW) - E5-28 (E1) 9 to 14 V

- INSPECT FUSE (EFI FUSE)
- Remove the EFI fuse from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the EFI fuse.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ω
- Reinstall the EFI fuse.
NG: CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO FUSE
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT INTEGRATION RELAY (EFI M RELAY)
- Remove the integration relay from the engine room relay block.
- Inspect the EFI M relay.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3K-1 - 3I-8 10 kΩ or higher 3K-1 - 3I-8 Below 1 Ω (Apply battery voltage to terminals 3I-6 and 3I-7) - Reinstall the integration relay.
NG: REPLACE INTEGRATION RELAY
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
OK: Go to next step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI M RELAY - ECM, EFI M RELAY - BODY GROUND)
- Check the harness and connectors between the EFI M relay and ECM connector.
- Remove the integration relay from the engine room relay block.
- Disconnect the E7 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3I-6 (EFI M relay) - E7-7 (MREL) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3I-6 (EFI M relay) or E7-7 (MREL) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reinstall the integration relay.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
- Check the harness and the connectors between the EFI M relay and the body ground.
- Remove the integration relay from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance between the wire harness side connector and body ground.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3I-7 (EFI M relay) - Body ground Below 1 Ω - Reinstall the integration relay.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: CHECK AND REPAIR HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TERMINAL +B OF ECM - BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL)
- Check the harness and connectors between the EFI M relay and ECM connector.

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.
