Diagnosis Procedure

1.PERFORM ECM SELF-DIAGNOSIS

With CONSULT-III
Perform ECM self-diagnosis.
Is any error system detected?
YES >> Check the error system.
NO >> GO TO 2.

2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect power steering control unit harness connector.
4. Check continuity between ECM harness connector and power steering control unit harness connector.





Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect ECM harness connectors.
3. Check signal between ECM harness connector and ground with oscilloscope.





Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Replace ECM.

4.CHECK ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL (2)
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
