1A-170 Engine Control System
Diagnostic Aids
Poor connection or damaged harness may cause
intermittents. Check for the following conditions and, if
the fault is detected, repair or replace the faulty portion.
• Poor connection at ECM: Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out pins, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged pins,
and poor pin-to-wire connection.
• Damaged harness: Inspect the wiring harness for
rubbed-through wire insulation or wire broken
inside the insulator. If the harness appears to be
OK, observe the display on Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the
sensor. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. If the DTC is not detected, the possible cause is
intermittent (intermittent fault).
4. If pins are jumpered and the resistance reads
∞
Ω
,
the cause is open wiring. If pins are not jumpered and
the resistance reads 0
Ω
, the cause is short.

Check the CAN communication circuit.
1.
Starter switch "OFF".
2.
Disconnect ECM and VIM connectors.
3.
Jumper the VIM connector and measure
the resistance at the ECM connector.
Was the resistance within range?
