ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNJEC0636PREPARATIONNJEC0636S01ECM is locating beside of blower unit.
1. Remove the ECM bracket fixing.
2. Remove ECM harness protector.
3. Disconnect negative battery terminal.
SEF883Y
4. Connect a break out box (SST) between the ECM and ECM
harness connectors.
+Use extreme care not to touch 2 pins at one time.
+Data is for comparison and may not be exact.
+Be sure ECM unit is properly grounded before checking.

ECM INSPECTION TABLENJEC0636S03Remarks: Specification data are reference values and are mea-
sured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/
output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's
transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as
the ground.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURENJEC0641
1 INSPECTION START
Start engine.
Is engine running?
YesorNo
Ye s©GO TO 13.
No©GO TO 2.
2 CHECK ECM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
1. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2. Check voltage between ECM terminal 507 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.
SEF895Y
OK or NG
OK©GO TO 4.
NG©GO TO 3.
3 DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
+Harness connectors M74, F112
+Fuse block (J/B) connector M1
+10A fuse
+Harness for open or short between ECM and fuse
©Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
4 CHECK ECM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 104, 105, 106 and engine ground. Refer to Wiring Diagram.
Continuity should exist.
4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK©GO TO 5.
NG©Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

SEF399Y
OK or NG
OK©GO TO 8.
NG©GO TO 7.
7 DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
+20A fuse
+10A fuse
+Harness for open or short between ECM relay and battery
©Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

13 CHECK ECM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-V
1. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº.
2. Disconnect ECM relay. (For ECM relay location, refer to ªEngine Control Component Parts Locationº.)
3. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
4. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 107, 108, 109 and ECM relay terminal 7. Refer to Wiring Diagram.
Continuity should exist.
5. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK©GO TO 15.
NG©GO TO 14.
14 DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
+Harness connectors E75, F36
+Harness for open or short between ECM and ECM relay
©Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
15 CHECK ECM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 104, 105, 106 and engine ground. Refer to Wiring Diagram.
Continuity should exist.
2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK©GO TO 16.
NG©Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
16 CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENTº, EC-559.
