(a) Continuity Check with Ground
(1) Disconnect connectors (A) and (C) and measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of connector
(A) and body ground.
In the case of Fig. 6,
Between terminal 1 of connector (A) and body ground " Continuity
Between terminal 2 of connector (A) and body ground " No continuity (open)
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit between terminal 1 of connector (A) and terminal 1 of
connector (C).
(2) Disconnect connector (B) and measure the resistance between terminal 1 of connector (A) and body
ground, and terminal 1 of connector (B) and body ground.
Between terminal 1 of connector (A) and body ground " No continuity (open)
Between terminal 1 of connector (B) and body ground " Continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit between terminal 1 of connector (B) and terminal 1 of
connector (C).

Check and Replace ECU
First check the ECU ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it. If it is nor-
mal, the ECU could be faulty, so replace the ECU with a known
good one and check if the symptoms appear.
(1) Measure the resistance between the ECU ground terminal
and the body body ground.
Resistance: 1 or less
(2) Disconnect the ECU connector, check the ground terminals
on the ECU side and wire harness side for bend and check
the contact pressure.
