DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND DRAIN VALVE CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connectors from the ECM and drain valve. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B135) No. 4 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Repair the short circuit to power in the harness between ECM and drain valve connector.	Go to step 2 .
2 CHECK DRAIN VALVE. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the resistance between drain valve terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. :	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Replace the drain valve. < Refer to DRAIN VALVE . >	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
