1

CHECK OPERATION OF STARTER MOTOR.
Does the starter motor operate when ignition
switch to “ST”?

Operates.

Repair the har-
ness and connec-
tor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open or ground
short circuit in har-
ness between
ECM and starter
motor connector.
• Poor contact in
ECM connector.

Check the starter
motor circuit. <Ref.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the voltage between ECM and

chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 10 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

10 V

Repair the poor
contact in ECM
connector.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
MAIN FUSE BOX CONNECTOR.
1) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
2) Measure the resistance of harness

between ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 10 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 3.

Repair the ground
short circuit in har-
ness between
ECM connector
and battery termi-
nal.

3

CHECK FUSE SBF-5.
Is the fuse blown?

Fuse is blown-out.

Replace the fuse.

Repair the har-
ness and connec-
tor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:

• Open circuit in
harness between
ECM and battery
• Poor contact in
ECM connector
• Poor contact in
battery terminal
