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 causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then,
ECM 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 detected,
MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.
INSPECTION
1. Main fuse 4. Main relay 7.“IG” fuse [A] : Case of TYPE A is shown
(See NOTE)
2. Ignition switch 5. Malfunction indicator lamp in
combination meter8.“IG COIL METER” fuse [B] : Case of TYPE B is shown
(See NOTE)
3. Fuse box 6.“FI” fuse
NOTE:
For TYPE A and TYPE B, refer to the NOTE in “ECM Terminal Voltage Values Table” for applicable
model.
Step Action Yes No
1 MIL Power Supply Check
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
Do other indicator / warning lights in combina-
tion meter comes ON?Go to Step 2.“IG” fuse blown, main fuse
blown, ignition switch mal-
function, “B/W” circuit
between “IG” fuse and
combination meter or
poor coupler connection
at combination meter.

Table A-5 ECM 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
supplied to ECM.
INSPECTION
1. Main fuse 4. Main relay 7.“IG” fuse [A] : Case of TYPE A is shown (See
NOTE)
2. Ignition switch 5. Malfunction indicator lamp in
combination meter8.“IG COIL METER” fuse [B] : Case of TYPE B is shown (See
NOTE)
3. Fuse box 6.“FI” fuse
NOTE:
For TYPE A and TYPE B, refer to the NOTE in “ECM Terminal Voltage Values Table” for applicable
model.
Step Action Yes No
1 Main Relay Operating Sound Check
Is operating sound of main relay heard at ignition switch ON?Go to Step 5. Go to Step 2.
2 Main 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.
Main relay resistance
Between terminals A and B : Infinity
Between terminals C and D : 70 – 110
Ω
Ω Ω Ω (at 20 °C, 68 °F)
4) Check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2 when bat-
tery is connected to terminals 3 and 4. See Fig. 3.
Is main relay in good condition?Go to Step 3. Replace main
relay.

short in cir-
cuits con-
nected to this
fuse.
4 ECM Power Circuit Check
1) Turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect connectors from ECM and
install main relay.
2) Check for proper connection to ECM at terminals E17-9 (Case of
TYPE A) (See NOTE) or E18-11 (Case of TYPE B) (See NOTE),
E18-10, E18-5 and E18-6.
3) If OK, then measure voltage between terminal E18-10 and ground,
E17-9 (Case of TYPE A) (See NOTE) or E18-11 (Case of TYPE B)
(See NOTE) and ground with ignition switch ON.
Is each voltage 10 – 14 V?Go to Step 5.“B/W”, “Or” or
“Bl/B” circuit
open.
5 ECM Power Circuit Check
1) Using service wire, ground terminal E18-10 and measure voltage
between terminal E18-5 and ground at ignition switch ON.
Is it 10 – 14 V?Check
ground cir-
cuits “B” and
“B/R” for
open.
If OK, then
substitute a
known-good
ECM and
recheck.Go to Step 6.
6 Is operating sound of main relay heard in Step 1? Go to Step 7.“Bl/B” or “B/
R” wire open.
7 Main Relay Check
1) Check main relay according to procedure in Step 2.
