Inspection Procedure
- INSPECT FUSES (IMB, IGN)
- Remove the IMB fuse and IGN fuses from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition IMB fuse Always Below 1 Ω IGN fuse
NG: CHECK FOR SHORTS IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSES
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSPONDER KEY ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the H32 ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
