DTC B2273 Ignition 2 Monitor Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when there is a problem in the IG2 output circuit, which is from the inside of the power source control ECU to the IG2 relay.
- When the power source control ECU is replaced with a new one and the negative (-) battery terminal is connected, the power source mode becomes the IG-ON mode. When the battery is removed and reinstalled, the power source mode that was selected when the battery was removed is restored.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Remove the AM2 fuse from the cowl side J/B RH.
Measure the resistance of the fuse.
- Standard resistance:
- Below 1 Ω
5.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ENGINE ROOM R/B NO. 2 - POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU) |
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
Engine room R/B No. 2 IG2 relay terminal 2 - J55-35 (IG2D) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
Engine room R/B No. 2 IG2 relay terminal 1 - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
Engine room R/B No. 2 IG2 relay terminal 2 or J55-35 (IG2D) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-35 (IG2D) - Body ground | Engine switch on (IG) | Below 1 V |
6.INSPECT POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
Reconnect the J55 ECU connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-35 (IG2D) - Body ground | Engine switch off | Below 1 V |
Engine switch on (IG) | Output voltage at terminal AM2 is -2 V or more. |
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
|
|
After DTCs are all cleared, turn the engine switch on (IG). After 30 seconds have elapsed, check for DTCs again.
- OK:
- DTC B2273 is not output.
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
|
|
OK | |
| |
CHECK INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS |
|
8.REPLACE FAULTY RELAY OR J/B AND CHECK POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
Replace a faulty relay or J/B and then connect the power source control ECU connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-35 (IG2D) - Body ground | Engine switch off | Below 1 V |
Engine switch on (IG) | Output voltage at terminal AM2 is -2 V or more. |
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
|
|
9.REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR AND CHECK POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
Repair or replace a faulty wire harness or connector and then connect the power source control ECU connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-35 (IG2D) - Body ground | Engine switch off | Below 1 V |
Engine switch on (IG) | Output voltage at terminal AM2 is -2 V or more. |
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
