INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note:

  • Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

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

Tip:

This chart is based on the premise that the engine can crank normally. If the engine cannot crank normally, proceed to the problem symptoms table (Click here).
