• Failure of engine to start

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode and Inspection Mode

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connector from camshaft position sensor.

3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

4) Measure the voltage between camshaft position sensor connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E35) No. 1 (+) — Engine ground (−):

Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Repair the open or ground short circuit of harness between main relay connector and camshaft position sensor connector.

2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM.

3) Measure the resistance between ECM and camshaft position sensor connector.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 21 — (E35) No. 2:

(B134) No. 22 — (E35) No. 3:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following items.

• Open circuit of the harness between the ECM and camshaft position sensor

• Poor contact of coupling connector

3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.

Measure the resistance between camshaft position sensor connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E35) No. 2 — Engine ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM and camshaft position sensor.

4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.

Measure the voltage between camshaft position sensor connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E35) No. 2 (+) — Engine ground (−):

Is the voltage 5 V or more?

Repair the short circuit of harness to power supply between ECM and camshaft position sensor.

5.CHECK CONDITION OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.

Is the camshaft position sensor installation bolt tightened securely?

Tighten the camshaft position sensor installation bolt securely.

6.CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.

Check the waveform of the camshaft position sensor.

Is there any abnormality in waveform?

Replace the camshaft position sensor.

Repair the following item.

• Poor contact in ECM connector

• Poor contact of camshaft position sensor connector

• Poor contact of coupling connector
