No >> check the harness and repair the root cause.
4.Check ecm and bcm termination circuit
- Remove the ecm and the bcm.
- Check the resistance between the ECM terminals.
- Check the resistance between the bcm terminals.
Is the measurement value within the specification? YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Replace the ECM and/or the BCM.
5.Check symptom
Connect all the connectors. Check if the symptoms described in the “symptom (results from interview with customer)” are reproduced.
Inspection result
