Fig. 5 3. CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT

(a) If the wire harness is ground shorted as shown in Fig. 5,
C SHORT B A locate the section by conducting a resistance check with
1 1 1 the body ground in step (b).

Fig. 6 (b) Check the resistance with the body ground.

(1) Disconnect connectors A and C and measure the
resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of connector
ECU A and the body ground.
Sensor Resistance: 10 KΩ or higher

vertically and horizontally.
Z17009 In the case of Fig. 6:
Between terminal 1 of connector A and body
ground → Below 1 Ω
Between terminal 2 of connector A and body
ground → 10 KΩ or higher
Therefore, the cause is a short circuit between ter-
minal 1 of connector A and terminal 1 of connector
C.

Fig. 7 (2) Disconnect connector B and measure the resis-

tance between terminal 1 of connector A and the
body ground, and terminal 1 of connector B2 and
the body ground.
