CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.5)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .

NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.5)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connector from the accelerator pedal position sensor.
4. Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.
Connector and terminal

(B134) No. 51 - Engine ground:

(B134) No. 66 - Engine ground:

(B134) No. 66 - (B134) No. 50:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT INSIDE ECM (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Connect the connector to ECM.
2. Measure the resistance between accelerator pedal position sensor connector and chassis ground.
Connector and terminal

(B315) No. 6 - Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Replace the accelerator pedal assembly. Ref. to SPEED CONTROL SYSTEMS (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ACCELERATOR PEDAL .

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and accelerator pedal position sensor connector. Replace the ECM if defective. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .
