ls DTC P1298 indicated?
Check lor an open in the wire(GNO linel:1. Turn the ignition switch andheadlights OFF.2. Disconnect the ELD 3P con-nector.3. Check for continuity betweenbody ground and the ELD 3Pconnector terminal No. 2.
Bepair opon in the wire bstweenELO connector and G402.
Check tor an opon in the wire IELlinell1. Disconnect the ECM connec-tor D (l6Pi.
2. Check for continuity betweenthe ELD 3P connector terminalNo. 3 and ECM connector terminal D16.
Repair open in the wir€ betweenECM l016l and rhe ELD.ls there continuity?
Check for a malfunction in theELD:1. Reconnect the ELD 3P connec-tor and ECM connector D (16P).
2. Start the engine and allow itto idle.3. Wh ile measuring voltagebetween ECM connector terminals D16 and A9, turn theheadlights on {low).
Sub3titute a knownjgood ECMand rechock. lf 3vmptom/indics-tion 9oe6 away, replace the original ECM.
