CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.0 (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>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 2.0 (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP .
Check the high-pressure fuel pump. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP>INSPECTION .

Is the check result OK?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Replace the high-pressure fuel pump. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP .
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (OPEN) .
1. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
2. Disconnect the connector from high-pressure fuel pump.
3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and high-pressure fuel pump connector.
Connector and terminal

(E158) No. 114 - (E160) No. 1:

(E158) No. 105 - (E160) No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Go to 3.

No: Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM connector and high-pressure fuel pump connector.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (SHORT TO GROUND) .
Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.

Connector and terminal

(E158) No. 114 - Engine ground:

(E158) No. 105 - Engine ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Go to 4.

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and high-pressure fuel pump connector.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY) .
Measure the voltage between high-pressure fuel pump connector and engine ground.

Connector and terminal

(E160) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-):

Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Yes: Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness between ECM connector and high-pressure fuel pump connector.

No: Go to 5.
CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT .
Check for poor contact of ECM connector.

Is there poor contact of ECM connector?

Yes: Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

No: Replace the engine control computer. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)>REMOVAL .
