SFI SYSTEM(w/o Canister Pump Module) VC Output Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ECM constantly generates 5 V power source voltage from the auxiliary battery voltages supplied to the +B, +B2 (BATT) terminal to operate the microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power source voltage to the sensors through the VC output circuit.

When the VC circuit is shorted, the microprocessor in the ECM and sensors that are supplied power through the VC circuit are inactivated because the power is not supplied from the VC circuit. When the system is in this condition, it will not start.

2. CHECK EFI NO. 1 FUSE VOLTAGE

   
   
   1. 

      *1	No. 1 Engine Room Relay Block and Junction Block Assembly
      *2	EFI NO. 1 Fuse

      Turn the power switch on (IG).

   2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 (EFI NO. 1 fuse) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

      Tech Tips

      
      

      • Check the fuse with it installed to the No. 1 engine room relay block and junction block assembly.

      • If the result is not as specified, since current is not flowing to the +B and +B2 terminals of the ECM, the system may not be started.
