RESISTANCE CHECK
1) Disconnect couplers (1) from ECM/PCM with ignition switch
OFF.
2) Check resistance between each pair of terminals of discon-
nected couplers (1) as listed in following table. CAUTION:
Never touch terminals of ECM/PCM itself or connect volt-
meter or ohmmeter (2).
CAUTION:
Be sure to connect ohmmeter (2) probe from wire har-
ness side of coupler.
Be sure to turn OFF ignition switch for this check.
Resistance in table represents that when parts temper-
ature is 20°C (68°F).

der where misfire occurs, referring to “IGNI-
TION SYSTEM” section.
Is it in good condition?Go to Step 3. Faulty ignition coil, wire
harness, or other system
parts.

operating sound at engine cranking or
idling.
Do all injectors make operating sound?Go to Step 4. Check coupler connec-
tion and wire harness of
injector not making oper-
ating sound and injector
itself.
