Troubleshooting
| Caution
when using the multi-circuit tester, do not strongly touch the terminal
of the ecm coupler with a
needle pointed tester probe to prevent terminal damage. |
| Note
after repairing the trouble, clear the dtc using sds tool. Refer to “use
of sds diagnosis reset procedures” . |

total voltage is 4.5 – 5.0 V) and connect (–) terminal to
the ground terminal “b” and (+) terminal to the vcc
terminal “a”.
- Check the voltage between vout terminal “c” and
ground. Also, check if voltage reduces when vacuum is
applied up to 53 kpa (400 mmhg) by using vacuum
pump gauge.
