MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The battery supplies electricity to the ECM even when the ignition switch is off. This power allows the ECM to store data such as DTC history, freeze frame data and fuel trim values. If the battery voltage falls below a minimum level, these memories are cleared and the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the power supply circuit. When the engine is next started, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
HINT:
If DTC P0560 is set, the ECM does not store other DTCs.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
1 CHECK FUSE (EFI NO. 1 FUSE)
(a) Remove the EFI No. 1 fuse from the engine room junction block.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω
(c) Reinstall the EFI No. 1 fuse.
2 INSPECT ECM (BATT VOLTAGE)
(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
REPLACE ECM (See page ES-498)
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - EFI NO. 1 FUSE)
(a) Check the harness and the connector between the EFI No. 1 fuse and ECM.
(1) Remove the EFI No. 1 fuse from the engine room junction block.
(2) Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance :
(4) Reconnect the ECM connector.
(5) Reinstall the EFI No. 1 fuse.
4 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EFI NO. 1 FUSE - BATTERY)
(a) Check the harness and the connector between the EFI No. 1 fuse and battery.
(1) Remove the EFI No. 1 fuse from the engine room junction block.
(2) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:
(4) Reconnect the negative battery cable.
(5) Reinstall the EFI No. 1 fuse
5 INSPECT BATTERY
(a) Check that the battery is not depleted.
CHECK AND REPLACE ENGINE ROOM RELAY BLOCK
Data list / active test
1. DATA LIST
HINT:
Using the DATA LIST displayed on the intelligent tester,
you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator,
etc. without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as
the first step of troubleshooting is one way to shorten the
labor time.
Connect the intelligent tester to ...
Inspection
1. Inspect starter assembly
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds
to avoid burning out the coil.
(a) Perform the pull-in test.
(1) Disconnect the lead wire from terminal C.
(2) Connect the battery to the magnetic switch as
shown in the illustratio ...
Problem symptoms table
If there are no DTCs output but the problem still occurs,
check the circuits for each problem symptom in the order
given in the table below and proceed to the relevant
troubleshooting page.
NOTICE:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, sensor,
etc., turn the ignition switch off.
