TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module harness connectors.
Check each power and ground circuit to the module.
Were any problems found?
All
Yes → Refer to the wiring diagrams located in the service information to

Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.
No → Go To 2
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Disconnect the DRBIIIt from the DLC.
Measure the resistance between ground and the K-ECM circuit.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
All
Yes → Repair the K-ECM circuit for a short to ground.
Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.
No → Go To 3
3 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the DRBIIIt from the DLC.
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the K-ECM circuit.
NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to
that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
All
Yes → Repair the K-ECM circuit for a short to voltage.
Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.
