DESCRIPTION

The ECM constantly generates a 5 V power source voltage from the auxiliary battery voltage supplied to the +B (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 short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and the sensors that are supplied with power through the VC circuit are inactivated because 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.

Tip:

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

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR


    1. Disconnect the throttle with motor body assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.

    3. Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.

    4. Disconnect the ECM connectors.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D24-125 (VCTA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D24-113 (VCV1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D24-78 (VCPM) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    • OK
