ECM Power Source Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned on, battery positive voltage is applied to terminal IGSW of the ECM and
the EFI main relay (Marking: EFI) control circuit in the ECM sends a signal to terminal MREL of the ECM
switching on the EFI main relay.
This signal causes current to flow to the coil, closing the contacts of the EFI, main relay and supplying power
to terminals +B of the ECM.
If the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM continues to switch on the EFI main relay for a maximum of 2
seconds for the initial setting of the IAC valve.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1 Check voltage between terminals +B and E1 or ECM connectors.

PREPARATION:
+B (+) (a) Remove the glove compartment (See page SF–58).
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminals +B and E1 of the ECM
connectors.
OK:
E1 (–) Voltage: 9 – 14 V
A18845

OK Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on

problem symptoms table (See page DI–174).
