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

DESCRIPTION

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

A003OUHE40

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

Tech Tips

Under normal conditions, the MIL is illuminated when the power switch is turned on (IG). The MIL goes off when the power switch is turned on (READY).

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK GTS


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Check the communication between the GTS and ECM.

      Tech Tips

      Communication can be checked by using the Data List item Engine.

  2. CHECK EFI NO. 2 FUSE VOLTAGE

    A003N64C02
    *1 No. 1 Engine Room Relay Block and No. 1 Junction Block Assembly
    *2 EFI NO. 2 Fuse

    1. 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. 2 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 No. 1 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.
