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.

Tech Tips

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.
