3. INSPECT ENGINE & ECT ECU
A. Install SST (check harness) between engine & ECT ECU and wiring connectors
HINT:
wECU connectors are water±proof and are the bolt type.
w For water±proof type connectors, in order to measure
the voltage of ECU terminals and the resistance of
connected parts, connect a check harness (SST
09990±01000) between the ECU and wiring
connectors, then perform the inspection.
w Avoid inserting a tester probe from the other side of
connector as this noticeably reduces the water±proof
ability.
w Disconnect the ECU connectors by fully loosening the
bolt.
(a) Remove the bolt, and disconnect the two ECU
connectors.
NOTICE:
w Do not pull the wiring harness when disconnecting the
connectors.
w When disconnecting the connector, the ECU's back±up
power source is cut off, so the malfunction codes, etc.
recorded in the ECU memory are cancelled.
w Never insert a tester probe or male terminal used for
inspection purposes into the female terminal of the
vehicle wire harness. Otherwise, the female terminal may
be widened, which can reselt in faulty connection.
(b) Connect SST (check harness) between ECU and wiring
connectors.
SST 09990±01000
HINT: SST (check harness) connector terminals are ar-
ranged the same as those of the ECU. FI±129

B. Inspect voltage of engine & ECT ECUCheck the voltage between each terminal.w Turn the ignition switch ON.
w Measure the voltage at each terminal.
HINT:
w Perform all voltage measurements with the connectors
connected.
w Verify that the battery voltage is 11 V or more when the
ignition switch is ON.
