1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Does the malfunction indicator 
light illuminate?

Repair the short 
circuit of harness 
between ECM and 
combination meter 
connector.

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

4

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check for poor contact of the ECM connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM 
connector?
