SFI SYSTEM - VC Output Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The ECM constantly generates 5 V power from the battery voltages supplied to the +B (BATT) terminal to operate the microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power to the sensors through the VC output circuit.When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and sensors that are supplied with power through the VC circuit are inactivated because the power is not supplied from the VC circuit. Under this condition, the system does not start up and the MIL does not illuminate even if the system malfunctions.- HINT:
- Under normal conditions, the MIL is illuminated for several seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position. The MIL goes off when the engine is started.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Check that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lights up when turning the ignition switch to the ON position.
- OK:
- MIL lights up.
2.CHECK CONNECTION BETWEEN INTELLIGENT TESTER AND ECM |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
Check for communication between the tester and ECM.

5.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
Disconnect the C5 throttle body connector.
Disconnect the A17 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
Disconnect the A24 and C24 ECM connectors.
Measure the resistance between the terminals of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connection
