Inspection Procedure 3: The Engine Warning Lamp Does not Illuminate Right after the Ignition Switch 
is Turned The "ON" Position

OPERATION

œ

Battery voltage is applied to engine warning lamp 
of combination meter connector (terminal No. 42) 
from ignition switch.

œ

Engine-ECU (terminal No. 36) makes power tran-
sistor in unit be in "ON" position, and that makes 
currents go on engine warning lamp of combina-
tion meter connector (terminal No. 14).

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

œ

Engine-ECU turns on engine warning lamp for 5 
seconds to check for burnt-out bulb immediately 
after ignition switch is turned to ON.

œ

If engine warning lamp is not lit just after turning 
ignition switch to "ON" position, failure is possibly 
caused by burn-out bulb, open/short circuit or 
other faults.

PROBABLE CAUSE

œ

Engine warming lamp bulb burnt out

œ

Failed ignition switch

œ

Open/short circuit in engine warning lamp circuit 
for or loose connector contact

œ

Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1: Check engine start-up.

Q: Is engine started?

YES : 

Go to Step 2 .

NO : 

Check engine-ECU power supply, engine 
control relay and ignition switch IG1 system 
(Refer to Inspection Procedure 23 

3

13A





).

STEP 2: Check engine warning lamp for burnt-
out bulb.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3 .

NO : 

Replace engine warning lamp.

STEP 3: Connector check: C-04 combination 
meter connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4 .

NO : 

Repair

STEP 4: Measure voltage at C-04 combination 
meter connector.

œ

Disconnect connector, and measure at the har-
ness side.

œ

Ignition switch: ON

œ

Voltage between terminal No. 42 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 6 .

NO : 

Go to Step 5 .

STEP 5: Connector check: C-303 ignition switch 
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Check intermediate connectors C-203 and 

C-205, and repair if necessary. If 
intermediate connectors are normal, check 
and repair harness between C-04 (terminal 
No. 42) combination meter connector and 
C-303 (terminal No. 2) ignition switch 
connector.

œ

Check power supply line for 
open/short circuit.

NO : 

Repair

STEP 6: Connector check: C-135 engine-ECU 
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 7 .

NO : 

Repair.

STEP 7: Measure voltage at C-135 engine-ECU 
connector.

œ

Disconnect connector, and measure at the har-
ness side. 

œ

Ignition switch: ON

œ

Voltage between terminal No. 36 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 9 .

NO : 

Go to Step 8 .
