CHECK CHART FOR RESISTANCE AND 
CONTINUITY BETWEEN TERMINALS

1. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2. Disconnect the engine-ECU connector.
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity 

between the terminals of the engine-ECU 
harness-side connector while referring to the 
check chart.

NOTE: 

.

1. When measuring resistance and checking 

continuity, a harness for checking contact pin 
pressure should be used instead of inserting a 
test probe.

2. Checking need not be carried out in the order 

given in the chart.

CAUTION

If the terminals that should be checked are mis-
taken, or if connector terminals are not correctly 
shorted to earth, damage may be caused to the 
vehicle wiring, sensors, engine-ECU and/or ohm-
meter. Be careful to prevent this!
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the 

standard value, check the corresponding sensor, 
actuator and related electrical wiring, and the 
repair or replace.

5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the 

ohmmeter to confirm that the repair or 
replacement has corrected the problem.
