Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

• Open circuit of harness between ECM and engine ground

• Poor contact of ECM connector

• Poor contact of coupling connector

3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CONNECTOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2) Measure the voltage between electronic throttle control connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal
