1. Remove the ECM bracket fixing.
2. Remove ECM harness protector.
3. Disconnect negative battery terminal.

Pulse signal is measured by CONSULT-II.
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
