Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK FUSE

    Check 10A fuse [No. 3, located in the fuse block (J/B)].

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 2  .

    NO 

    Replace the fuse after repairing the applicable circuit.

  2. CHECK ECV POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the ECV connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between the ECV harness connector and ground.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 3  .

    NO 

    Repair the harnesses or connectors.

  3. CHECK ECV CONTROL SIGNAL

    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Connect the ECV connector.
    3. Perform the self - diagnosis STEP - 4 (Code No. 45). Refer to DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION  (WITHOUT ACCS) or DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION  (WITH ACCS).
    4. Check output waveform between the unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector and ground with the oscilloscope.
