Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (E158) No. 10 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Repair the short circuit to power in the harness between ECM connector and rear oxygen sensor connector.	Go to step 2 .
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR ECM. Disconnect the connector from ECM. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (E158) No. 61 - Chassis ground: (E158) No. 62 - Chassis ground: (E158) No. 63 - Chassis ground: (E158) No. 64 - Chassis ground: (E158) No. 65 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.	Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM connector and engine ground.
