AA5 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE MAP SENSOR.
1. Measure the resistance between MAP Sensor electrical connector PI29, pin 4 (BG) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

Goto AA6

No
Repair the circuit between the MAP Sensor electrical connector PI29, pin 4 (BG) and GROUND. This circuit includes the PCM. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

AA6 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR.

NOTE:
Access to the FTP sensor involves the removal of the fuel tank. To reduce the amount of work necessary, a slave harness could be used. This can be connected at the access port beneath the rear seat. Tests can then be carried out via the slave harness and sensor. If system operation is normal with the slave harness and sensor, the fault lies in the vehicle's harness or sensor.

1. Measure the resistance between FTP Sensor electrical connector FP01, pin 2 (BG) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

Goto AA7

No
Repair the circuit between the FTP Sensor electrical connector FP01, pin 2 (BG) and GROUND. This circuit includes the PCM. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

AA7 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE APP SENSOR. (Track 1)
1. Measure the resistance between APP Sensor electrical connector CA88, pin 6 (BG) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

Goto AA8

No
Repair the circuit between the APP Sensor electrical connector CA88, pin 6 (BG) and GROUND. This circuit includes the PCM. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

AA8 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE TP SENSOR.
1. Measure the resistance between TP Sensor electrical connector PI26, pin 1 (BG) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
