CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (See page ) and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    4. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    5. Turn the engine switch off for 30 seconds or more.

    6. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.

    7. Turn the engine switch on (IG) for 4 seconds or more.

    8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      r7-1 (NE+) - C152-28 (NE+) Always Below 1 Ω
      r7-2 (NE-) - C152-19 (NE-) Always Below 1 Ω
      r7-1 (NE+) or C152-28 (NE+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      r7-2 (NE-) or C152-19 (NE-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
