| 14. | Disconnect the under-hood fuse/relay box 20P (white) connector. |
| 15. | Disconnect ECM connector C (44P). |
| 16. | Check for continuity between ECM connector terminal C1 and body ground.
Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM (C1) and the under-hood fuse/relay box, then go to 22. NO - Go to 17. |
| 17. | Install the under-hood fuse/relay box, and replace the No. 18 DBW (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL) (15 A) fuse. |
| 18. | Connect a battery. |
| 19. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II). |
| 20. | Measure voltage between ECM connector terminal C1 and body ground.

| 27. | Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM. |
| 28. | Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? YES - If DTC P1659 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the under-hood fuse/relay box and the ECM, then go to 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. NO - If the ECM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM was substituted, replace the original ECM.n |
