1. Remove the ECM bracket fixing.
2. Remove ECM harness protector.
3. Disconnect negative battery terminal.

4. Connect a break out box (SST) between the ECM and ECM
harness connectors.
Use extreme care not to touch 2 pins at one time.
Data is for comparison and may not be exact.
Be sure ECM unit is properly grounded before checking.

sured between each terminal and ground.
Pulse signal is measured by CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/
output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM’s
transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as
the ground.
