DTC 51 Engine Malfunction Detection Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
If trouble in the engine control system causes the malfunction indicator light to light up, this information is trans-
mitted from the ECM to the TRAC ECU. The TRAC ECU may prohibit TRAC control as a result.
DTC No.

Check for open and short n harness and connector between terminals
EFI+, EFI±, TRAC+ and TRC± of ECU and ECM (See page IN±30).
When the TRAC indicator light is ON, there is a problem in the EFI + circuit, and when the TRAC in-
dictor light is OFF, there is a problem in the TRC + circuit.
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace ECM or TRAC ECU.
