MIL Circuit: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Check the illumination of the MIL.
Result
Result Proceed to MIL remains illuminated (Even after ignition switch is turned on (IG) and several seconds have passed, MIL still remains illuminated) A MIL remains off (Does not illuminate at all) B
B → See step 5
A: Go to next step
- CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
- Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Code.
- Check if any DTCs have been stored. Note down any DTCs.
- Clear the DTCs, refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
- Check if the MIL goes off.
Standard
MIL goes off.
NG → See step 3
OK → REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Check that the MIL is not illuminated.
OK
MIL is not illuminated.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG → See step 4
OK → See step 8
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Disconnect the combination meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for Open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D61-13 (W) - E1-10 (CHK) Always Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for Short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D61-13 (W) or E1-10 (CHK) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the ECM connector.
- Reconnect the combination meter connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
OK → See step 9
- CHECK THAT ENGINE STARTS
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Start the engine.
Result
Result Proceed to Engine starts A Engine does not start* B HINT:
*: The tester cannot communicate with the ECM.
B → See step 10
A: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D61-13 (W) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V - Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG → See step 7
OK → See step 8
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Disconnect the combination meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D61-13 (W) - E1-10 (CHK) Always Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for Short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D61-13 (W) or E1-10 (CHK) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the ECM connector.
- Reconnect the combination meter connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
OK → See step 9
- REPLACE ECM. Refer to COMPONENTS
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to COMPONENTS
- GO TO VC OUTPUT CIRCUIT. Refer to VC Output Circuit
