INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Indicates the inspection procedures corresponding to each diagnostic trouble code. (Refer to the
next page on how to read the inspection procedures.)
INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
If there are trouble symptoms, even though the results of inspection using the scan tool show that
all diagnostic trouble codes are normal, inspection proceduresfor each trouble symptom will be found
by means of this chart.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSTIC SYMPTOM
Indicatesthe inspection procedurescorresponding to each trouble symptoms classified in the Inspection
Chart for Trouble Symptoms. (Refer to the next page on how to read the inspection procedures.)
SERVICE DATA REFERENCE TABLE
Inspectionitems and normaljudgementvalues have been providedin this chart as referenceinformation.
CHECK AT ECU TERMINALS
Terminal numbers for the ECU connectors, inspection items and standard values have been provided
in this chart as reference information.
Terminal Voltage Checks
Method of reading diagnostic trouble codes
Method of erasing diagnostic trouble codes
Connect a needle-nosed wire probe or paper clip to a voltmeter probe.
Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the ECU connector terminals from the wire side,
and measure the voltage while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
1. Measure voltage with the ECU connectors connected.
2. You may find it convenient to pull out the ECU to make it easier to reach the connector
terminals.
3. Checks don’t have to be carried out in the order given in the chart.
Caution
Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe betweena connectorterminal and ground could damage
the vehicle wiring, the sensor, the ECU, or all three.
Use care to prevent this !
If voltage readings differ from Normal Condition values, check related sensors, actuators, and
wiring, then replace or repair.

4. After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter to confirm that the repair has corrected
the problem.

5.
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF.
Disconnect the ECU connector.
Measure the resistance and check for continuity between the terminals of the ECU harness-side
connector while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
Checks don’t have to be carried out in the order given in the chart.
Caution
If resistance and continuity checks are performed on the wrong terminals, damage to the
vehicle wiring, sensors, ECU, and/or ohmmeter may occur.
Use care to prevent this!
If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the Normal Condition value, check the corresponding
sensor, actuator and related electrical wiring, then repair or replace.
After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter to confirm that the repair has corrected
the problem.

5. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have dis.
pappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next stage
of instructions.

6. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is ar
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacingthe ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.
HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to Volume 2 Electrical manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse I’ .
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeatthe inspection procedure
from the beginning.

CONNECTOR MEASUREMENT SERVICE POINTS
Turn the ignition switch to OFF when connecting and discon-
necting the connectors. Turn the ignition switch to ON when
measuring if there are no instructions to the contrary.
IF INSPECTING WITH THE CONNECTOR CONNECTED
(WITH CIRCUIT IN A CONDITION OF CONTINUITY)
Waterproof Connectors
Be sure to use the special tool (harness connector). Never
insert a test probe from the harness side, as this will reduce
the waterproof performance and result in corrosion.
Ordinary (non-waterproof) Connectors
Check by inserting the test probe from the harness side.
Note that if the connector (control unit, etc.) is too small to
permit insertion of the test probe, it should not be forced;
use a special tool (the extra-thin probe in the harness set
for checking) for this purpose.
IF INSPECTING WITH THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED
<When Inspecting a Female Pin>
Use the special tool (inspection harness for connector pin
contact pressure in the harness set for inspection).
The inspection harness for connector pin contact pressure
should be used. The test probe should never be forcibly in-
serted, as it may cause a defective contact.
<When Inspecting a Male Pin>
Touch the pin directly with the test bar.
Caution
At this time, be careful not to short the connector pins
with the test probes. To do so may damage the circuits
inside the ECU.

CONNECTOR PIN INSPECTION
If the connector pin stopper is damaged, the terminal connec-
tions (male and female pins) will not be perfect even when
the connector body is connected, because the pins may pull
out of the back side of the connector. Therefore, gently pull
the wires one by one to make sure that no pins pull out
of the connector.
CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION
Use the special tool (connector pin connection pressure in-
spection harness of the inspection harness set) to inspect
the engagement of the male pins andfemale pins. [Pin drawing
