ECM Circuit Check

  1. Observe main relay (located in engine compartment relay/fuse block) while ignition is cycled on, then off. See Fig 1 . If sound is heard at relay, turn ignition off. Disconnect ECM harness connectors and go to step  6 . If no sound is heard, go to next step.

  2. Ensure ignition if off. Remove main relay. Measure resistance between relay terminals No. 3 and 4. See Fig 1 . Resistance should be 70-110 ohms. If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace relay.
  3. Check for continuity between terminals No. 1 and 2. Continuity should not exist. Apply battery voltage to terminal No. 3 and ground to terminal No. 4. Continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 2. If continuity is not as specified, replace relay. If continuity is as specified, go to next step.
  4. Ensure LAMP fuse (60-amp) in engine compartment relay/fuse block is okay. If fuse is blown, check for short to ground and repair as necessary. If fuse is okay, go to next step.
  5. Turn ignition off. Install main relay. Disconnect ECM harness connectors. Check ECM harness connector E92 terminals No. 8, 10 and 23 and ECM harness connector C20 terminal No. 7 for proper contact. See Fig 2 . If poor terminal contact is found, repair as necessary and retest system. If connection is okay, go to next step.

  6. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and ECM harness connector C20 terminal No. 7 (Black/White wire) and connector E92 terminal No. 10 (Green wire). If readings are 10-14 volts on both circuits, go to next step. If readings are not 10-14 volts on both circuits, repair open in Black/White wire between LAMP fuse (60-amp) and main relay, or open in Green wire between main relay and ECM. Repair as necessary.
  7. Using a fused jumper wire, ground ECM harness connector E92 terminal No. 10 (Green wire). Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and ECM harness connector E92 terminal No. 8 (Red/Black wire). If reading is 10-14 volts, go to next step. If reading is not 10-14 volts, repair open in Red wire between FI fuse (15-amp) and main relay, or open in Red/Black wire between ECM and main relay.
  8. Check for open in Blue/White or Black/Orange wire (ECM ground wires). Repair as necessary. If wires are okay, replace ECM. Retest system.
