Inspection Procedure 29

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 29: Power supply system and ignition switch-IG system.

Power Supply And Ignition Switch-IG System:




Connectors:





CIRCUIT OPERATION
- Battery positive voltage is applied to the MFI relay (terminals No.1, No.2).
- When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, When the battery positive voltage is applied, the ECM or PCM turns the power transistor in the ECM or PCM .
- Battery positive voltage is constantly supplied to the ECM (terminal No.60) or PCM (terminal No.66)
as the backup power.
- The ECM (terminals No.46, No.58) or PCM (terminals No.42, No.48)
is grounded to the vehicle body.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this case:)
- Malfunction of the
ignition switch.
- Malfunction of the MFI relay.
- Improper connector contact, open circuit or short-circuited harness wire.
- Disconnected ECM or PCM ground wire.
- Malfunction of the ECM or PCM
.

DIAGNOSIS





STEP 1. Check connector A-18X at MFI relay for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.











STEP 2. Check the MFI relay.

1. Remove the MFI relay.
2. Check for continuity between the MFI relay terminals No.2 and No.3.
- There should be continuity (approximately 70 ohms)
3. Use jumper wires to connect MFI relay terminal No.2 to the positive battery terminal and terminal No.3 to the negative battery terminal.
4. Check for continuity between the MFI relay terminals No.1 and No.4 while connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire at the negative battery terminal.
- Should be less than 2 ohms. (Negative battery terminal connected)
- Should be open loop. (Negative battery terminal disconnected)
5. Install the MFI relay.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES:
Go to Step 3.
NO: Replace the MFI relay. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.








STEP 3. milevolt the power supply voltage at MFI relay harness side connector A-18X.

1. Disconnect the connector A-18X and measure at the harness side.
2. Measure the voltage between terminals No.1, No.2 and ground.
- Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present?

YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Check harness connector 0-06 at intermediate connector for damage, and repair or replace as required. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If intermediate connector is in good condition, repair harness wire between relay box (fuse 9) and MFI relay connector A-18X (terminals No.1, No.2) because of open circuit. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

Connectors:





STEP 4. Check connector C-122 at ECM or connector C-119 at PCM
for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

Connectors:











STEP 5. Measure the
ignition switch-IG signal voltage at ECM harness side connector C-122 or PCM harness side connector C-119 .

1. Disconnect the connector C-122 or C-119
and measure at the harness side.
2. Turn the
ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal No.99 or No. 98 and ground.
- Voltage should be battery positive voltage.
4. Turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present?

YES: Go to Step 6.
NO: Check harness connectors C-06, C-209, C-312 and C-311 at intermediate connector for damage, and repair or replace as required. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If intermediate connectors are in good condition, repair harness wire between ignition switch connector C-202 (terminal No.2) and ECM connector C-122 (terminal No.99) or PCM connector C-119 (terminal No. 98) because of open circuit. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

Connectors:











STEP 6. Measure the backup power supply voltage at ECM harness side connector C-118 or PCM harness side connector C-115
.

1. Disconnect the connector C-118 or C-115
and measure at the harness side.
2. Measure the voltage between terminal No.60 or No. 66
and ground.
- Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present?

YES: Go to Step 7.
NO: Check harness connector C-06 at intermediate connector for damage, and repair or replace as required. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If intermediate connectors are in good condition, repair harness wire between relay box (fuse 9) and ECM connector C-118 (terminal No. 60) or PCM connector C-115 (terminal No.66)
because of open circuit. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

Connectors:











STEP 7. Check for continuity at ECM harness side connector C-118 or PCM harness side connector C-115
.

1. Disconnect the connector C-118 or C-115
and measure at the harness side.
2. Check for the continuity between terminals (No.46, No.58) or (No.42, No.48)
and ground.
- Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES: Go to Step 8.
NO: Repair harness wire between ECM connector C-118 (terminals No.46, No.58) or PCM connector C-115 (terminals No.42, No.48)
and ground because of open circuit or harness damage. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

Connectors:











STEP 8. Measure the power supply voltage at ECM harness side connector C-118 or PCM harness side connector C-115
