1

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM and 
electronic throttle control.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between 
ECM and electronic throttle control connector.

(B134) No. 29 — (E57) No. 3:

Is the resistance less than 1 

:? Go to step 2.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness 
between ECM and 
electronic throttle 
control connector.

2

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL.

throttle control connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E57) No. 6 (+) — Engine ground (–):

Is the voltage 4.85 V or more?

Repair the short 
circuit to power in 
the harness 
between ECM and 
electronic throttle 
control connector.

Go to step 4.

4

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM.
3) Measure the resistance between ECM con-
nectors.

tact of the elec-
tronic throttle 
control connector. 
Replace the elec-
tronic throttle con-
trol if defective. 
<Ref. to 
FU(H4DOTC)-14, 
Throttle Body.>

Repair the short 
circuit to power in 
the harness
