Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.	Is any other DTC displayed?	Check DTC using "List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)". <Ref. to LIST OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .>	Go to step 2.
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND STARTER RELAY CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the F/B (starter relay) connector. Disconnect the connector from ECM. Disconnect the connector from starter motor. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and F/B (starter relay) connector. Connector & terminal (B134) No. 46 - (B159) No. 4:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 3.	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and starter relay connector Poor contact of coupling connector
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND STARTER RELAY CONNECTOR. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B134) No. 46 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.	Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and starter relay connector.
