DTC P1510 ECM (PCM) BACK-UP POWER SUPPLY MALFUNCTION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Battery voltage is supplied so that diagnostic trouble code memory, values for engine control learned by ECM
(PCM), etc. are kept in ECM (PCM) even when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Low voltage at terminal C02-14 after starting engine.“W” circuit open
ECM (PCM) malfunction
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Clear DTC, start engine and run it at idle for 1 min.
2) Select “DTC” mode on scan tool and check DTC.
INSPECTION
STEPACTIONYESNO
1Check for voltage at terminal C02-14 of ECM
(PCM) connector connected, under each
condition, ignition switch OFF and engine
running.
Is it 10 – 14 V at each condition?Poor C02-14
connection or
intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent
referring to “Intermittent
and Poor Connection”
in Section 0A.
If wire and connections
are OK, substitute a
known- good ECM
(PCM) and recheck.“W” circuit open.

2Injector Circuit Check
1) Check injector circuit for short.
Is fuel injected from injector at ignition switch ON?“Y/B” wire shorted to
ground or faulty
injector.
If wire and injector is
as specified
respectively and then
substitute known-
good ECM (PCM) and
recheck.Go to Step 3.
3Injector Check
1) Check injector for fuel Injection referring to FUEL
INJECTOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION in
Section 6E1.
Is fuel injected from injector at engine cranking?Go to Step 4.Go to Step 5.
4Injector Leakage Check
1) Check injector for leaks referring to FUEL
INJECTOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION in
Section 6E1.
Is it in good condition?Injector and its circuit
are in good condition.Faulty fuel injector.
5Check Injector for Operating Sound.
1) Using sound scope, check injector for operating
sound at engine cranking.
Is it detected?Proceed to DIAG.
FLOW TABLE B-2 and
B-3.Go to Step 6.

6Check Injector Resistor for Resistance.
1) Disconnect resistor connector with ignition switch
OFF.
2) Check for proper connection to resistor at each
terminals.
3) If connection is OK, check resistance.
Is resistance 1.9 – 2.1 Ω (at 20C, 68F)?“W/Bl”, “Y/G” or “Y/B”
wire open or poor
C02-12 connection.
If wires and
connections are OK,
substitute a known-
good ECM (PCM) and
recheck.Replace resistor.

Is fuel pump heard to operate for 2 sec. after ignition switch
ON?Fuel pump circuit
is in good
condition.Go to Step 3.
3Check Fuel Pump for Operation.
1) Remove fuel pump relay from relay box with ignition
switch OFF.
2) Check for proper connection to relay at each terminals.
3) If OK, using service wire, connect terminals E28-1 and
E28-2 of relay connector. See Fig. 2.
Is fuel pump heard to operate at ignition switch ON?Go to Step 4.“P”, “B” or “W/Bl”
circuit open or fuel

4Check Fuel Pump Relay for Operation.
1) Check resistance between each two terminals of fuel
pump relay. See Fig.3.
Between terminals “1” and “2”: Infinity
Between terminals “3” and “4”: 100 – 120 Ω
2) Check that there is continuity between terminals “1” and
“2” when battery is connected to terminals “3” and “4”. See
Fig. 4.
Is fuel pump relay in good condition?“P/W” circuit open
or poor C02-21
connection.
If wire and
connection are
OK, substitute a
known-good ECM

recheck.Replace fuel pump
relay.
