    2. Disconnect the E77 switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      K73-17 (STR1) - E77-4 Below 1 Ω
      K73-17 (STR1) or E77-4 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ENGINE ROOM NO. 2 RELAY BLOCK - POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Remove the ST CUT relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.

      Engine room No. 2 relay block ST CUT relay terminal 3 - K73-15 (STR2) Below 1 Ω
      Engine room No. 2 relay block ST CUT relay terminal 3 or K73-15 (STR2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Engine room No. 2 relay block ST CUT relay terminal 2- K73-35 (IG2D) Below 1 Ω
      Engine room No. 2 relay block ST CUT relay terminal 2 or K73-35 (IG2D) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  8. CHECK POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU

    2. Measure the voltage of the ECU.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      K73-39 (STSW) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK → GO TO SFI SYSTEM
