“IG COIL METER”Main relay
Ignition switch
In fuseMalfunction indicator lamp in combination meter
TABLE A-1 MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CIRCUIT CHECK – LAMP DOES
NOT COME “ON” AT IGNITION SWITCH ON (BUT ENGINE AT STOP)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM (PCM) causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point).
Then, ECM (PCM) being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the
engine starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is de-
tected, MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.
INSPECTION
STEPACTIONYESNO
1MIL Power Supply Check
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
Do other indicator / warning lights in
combination meter comes ON?Go to Step 2.“IG COIL METER” fuse blown,
main fuse blown, ignition
switch malfunction, “B/W”
circuit between “IG COIL
METER” fuse and
combination meter or poor
coupler connection at
combination meter.
2ECM (PCM) Power and Ground Circuit
Check
Does engine start?Go to Step 3.Go to TABLE A-3 ECM (PCM)
POWER AND GROUND
CIRCUIT CHECK.
If engine is not cranked, go to
DIAGNOSIS in SECTION 8A.
3MIL Circuit Check
1) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect
connectors from ECM (PCM).
2) Check for proper connection to ECM
(PCM) at terminal C02-17.
3) If OK, then using service wire, ground
terminal C02-17 in connector
disconnected.
Does MIL turn on at ignition switch ON?Substitute a known-
good ECM (PCM) and
recheck.Bulb burned out or “V/Y” wire
circuit open.

TABLE A-3 ECM (PCM) POWER AND GROUND CIRCUIT CHECK – MIL
DOESN’T LIGHT AT IGNITION SWITCH ON AND ENGINE DOESN’T
START THOUGH IT IS CRANKED UP
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch tuned ON, the main relay turns ON (the contact point closes) and the main power is sup-
plied to ECM (PCM).
INSPECTION
STEPACTIONYESNO
1Main Relay Operating Sound Check
Is operating sound of main relay heard at ignition switch ON?Go to Step 5.Go to Step 2.
2Main Relay Check
1) Turn OFF ignition switch and remove main relay (1).
2) Check for proper connection to main relay (1) at terminal
3 and 4.
3) Check resistance between each two terminals. See Fig. 1
and 2.
Between terminals 1 and 2: Infinity
Between terminals 3 and 4: 100 – 120 Ω
4) Check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2
when battery is connected to terminals 3 and 4. See Fig. 3.
Is main relay in good condition?Go to Step 3.Replace main
relay.
3Fuse Check
Is main “FI” fuse in good condition?Go to Step 4.Check for short in
circuits connected
to this fuse.
4ECM (PCM) Power Circuit Check
1) Turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect connectors from ECM
(PCM) and install main relay.
2) Check for proper connection to ECM (PCM) at terminals
C03-20, C02-2, C02-15 and C02-22.
3) If OK, then measure voltage between terminal C03-20 and
ground, C02-22 and ground with ignition switch ON.
Is each voltage 10 – 14 V?Go to Step 5.“B/W”, “W/R” or
“Bl / B” circuit
open.
