ECD SYSTEM(w/ Glow Plug Controller) VC Output Circuit

DTC Code DTC Name
VC Output Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ECM constantly generates 5 V of power from the battery voltage supplied to the +B, +B2, +B3 (BATT) terminal to operate the microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power to the sensors through the VC output circuit.

A257439E03

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.

Tip:

Under normal conditions, the MIL is illuminated when the ignition switch is turned to ON. The MIL turns off when the engine is started.

Tip:

When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
