ECU Grounding Inspection

Connections:

(I) BK/Y leads (ECU terminal 40, 73 or 74) ←→ Battery (–) Terminal

(II) Engine Ground ←→ Battery (–) Terminal

Criteria: Both: 0 Ω

If no continuity, check the connectors, the engine ground lead, or main harness, and repair or replace them if necessary.

If the wiring is good, check the power source voltage of the ECU.

ECU Power Supply Inspection Connections:

(I) Digital Meter (+) → Terminal 41 (W/BK)

Digital Meter (–) → Battery (–) terminal

(II) Digital Meter (+) → Terminal 53 (BR/W)

Digital Meter (–) → Battery (–) terminal

(III) Digital Meter (+) → Terminal 54 (W/BK)

Digital Meter (–) → Battery (–) terminal

Ignition Switch OFF:

Terminal 41 (W/BK): Battery Voltage

Terminal 53 (BR/W): 0 V

Terminal 54 (W/BK): Battery Voltage

Ignition Switch ON:

All: Battery Voltage

If the reading is out of the specification, check the following.

Main Fuse 30 A (see Fuse Inspection in the Electrical System chapter)

ECU Fuse 15 A (see Fuse Inspection in the Electrical System chapter)
