NOTE

Be sure the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
Disconnect the vehicle-down sensor connector and connect the measuring adapter [A] between these connectors as shown in the figure.

Main Harness [B] Vehicle-down Sensor [C]

Special Tool - Measuring Adapter: 57001-1700

Connect a digital meter [D] to the measuring adapter leads.

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Inspection

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Connections to Adapter: Digital Meter (+) → R (sensor BL) lead Digital Meter (–) → BK (sensor BR/BK) lead

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Inspection

Measure the input voltage with the engine stopped and with the connector joined.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Input Voltage Standard: DC 4.75 5.25 V

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

If the reading is within the standard, check the output voltage (see Vehicle-down Sensor Output Voltage Inspection).

If the reading is out of the standard, remove the ECU and check the wiring for continuity between main harness connectors.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Disconnect the ECU and sensor connectors.

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Inspection

If the wiring is good, check the ECU for its ground and power supply (see ECU Power Supply Inspection in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).

If the ground and power supply are good, replace the ECU (see ECU Removal/Installation in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
