Inspection Procedure 22




Inspection procedure 22: Power supply system and ignition switch-IG system






















CIRCUIT OPERATION

- Battery positive voltage is applied to the MFI relay (terminals No. 3, No. 4).
- When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, battery positive voltage is applied to the ECM (terminal No. 92). When battery positive voltage is applied, the ECM turns the power transistor in the ECM "ON" and grounds the MFI relay coil. With this, the MFI relay turns "ON" the battery positive voltage is supplied to the ECM (terminals No. 82) from the MFI relay (terminal No. 2).
- A battery positive voltage is constantly supplied to the ECM (terminal No. 104) as the backup power.
- The ECM (terminals No. 81, No. 93) is grounded to the vehicle body.

COMMENT

- When the ignition switch "ON" signal is input into the ECM via ETACS-ECU, the ECM turns "ON" the MFI relay. This causes battery positive voltage to be supplied to the ECM, sensor and actuator.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this case)

- Malfunction of the ignition switch.
- Malfunction of the MFI relay.
- Open of shorted power supply and ignition Switch-IG circuit, harness damage, or connector damage.
