tor and chassis 
ground

4

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM 
connector?

Repair the poor 
contact in ECM 
connector.

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
TEST MODE CONNECTOR.
1) Connect the test mode connector.
2) Measure the resistance of harness 
between ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 15 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 5 
Ω?

Go to step 6.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness 
between ECM and 
test mode connec-
tor.

6

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM 
connector?

Repair the poor 
contact in ECM 
connector.
