How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the PCM Connectors
How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the PCM ConnectorsNOTE: The PCM overwrites data and monitors the EVAP system for up to 15 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0). Jumping the SCS line after turning the ignition switch to LOCK (0) cancels this function. Disconnecting the PCM during this function, without jumping the SCS line first, can damage the PCM.
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
3. Remove the harness clamp bracket (A) from the PCM cover.
4. Release the three clips (B) securing the under-hood fuse/relay box (C), and lift up the box.
5. Disconnect PCM connectors (A).
6. Check the connector inspection port (A) size, and select a suitable pin probe, and probe the terminals in the inspection port on the terminal side of the connectors.
7. Connect one side of the patch cord (A) terminal to a digital multimeter (B), and connect the other side of the patch cord terminals to a commercially available banana jack (Pomona Electronics Tool No. 3563 or equivalent) (C).
8. Gently slide the pin probe into the inspection port at the connector terminal side. Always use the inspection port. Do not slide the probe into the connector terminals.
NOTICE:
^ For accurate result, always use the pin probe (male).
^ To prevent damage to the connector terminals, do not insert test equipment probes, paper clips, or other substitutes as they can damage the terminals. Damaged terminals cause a poor connection and an incorrect measurement.
^ Do not puncture the insulation on a wire. Punctures can cause poor or intermittent electrical connections.
