Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY (ACC1 RELAY)
- Remove the instrument panel junction block assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] ).
- Remove the main body ECU (network gateway ECU) from the instrument panel junction block assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
