3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Does the malfunction indicator
light illuminate?

Repair the ground
short circuit of har-
ness between

nation meter con-
nector.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND DE-
LIVERY (TEST) MODE CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between
ECM and delivery (test) mode connector.

Connector & terminal

(B76) No. 1 — (B136) No. 6:
(B75) No. 1 — (B135) No. 27:

Is the resistance less than 1

:? Go to step 4.

Repair the harness
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following item:
• Open circuit of
harness between
ECM and delivery
(test) mode con-
nector
• Poor contact in
joint connector
