| 2. |
CHECK ECM |
(a) Disconnect the I67 transponder key ECU assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
|
Tester Connection | Condition |
Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
|
I67-11 (EFIO) - Body ground |
Always | 11 to 14 V |
| NG | | GO TO STEP 4 |
|
| 3. |
CHECK TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY (TERMINAL EFIO) |
(a) Connect the transponder key ECU assembly connector.
(b) Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

*a | Component with harness connected (Transponder Key ECU Assembly) |
*b | Waveform |
|
*c | Approximately 160 ms. |
*d | Approximately 270 ms. |
OK:
|
Tester Connection | Condition |
Tool Setting | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
|
I67-11 (EFIO) - Body ground |
Within 3 seconds of starter operation and initial combustion, or within 3 seconds of ignition switch first being turned to ON after cable disconnected and reconnected to negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal |
2 V/DIV., 500 ms./DIV. |
Pulse generation (See waveform) |
| OK | | REPLACE ECM
|
| NG | | REPLACE TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY
|
| 4. |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY - ECM) |
(a) Disconnect the A47 ECM connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
|
Tester Connection | Condition |
Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| I67-11 (EFIO) - A47-26 (IMI) |
Always | Below 1 Ω |
|
I67-11 (EFIO) or A47-26 (IMI) - Other terminals and body ground |
Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| OK | | REPLACE ECM
|
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |

Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Flow (P040000-P04029B)
DESCRIPTION Based on the driving conditions, the ECM regulates the volume of exhaust gas that is recirculated to each engine cylinder in order to lower the combustion temperature and reduce NOx emissions. The ECM monitors signals such as engine speed, engine coolant temperature, electric load, and v
