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

DESCRIPTION

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

When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and sensors that are supplied with power through the VC circuit are deactivated because the power is not supplied from the VC circuit. Under this condition, the system does not start up and the MIL does not illuminate even if the system malfunctions.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK MIL

   
   

   1. Check that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lights up when the engine switch is turned on (IG).

      OK
      MIL lights up.

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG

   
   

   OK
