  1. Start the engine, and let it idle.
  2. Check the ELD in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is 0.2 A or less indicated? YES - Go to step 3. NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ELD and the ECM/PCM.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
  4. Disconnect the ELD 3P connector.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  6. Measure the voltage between ELD 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. Is there battery voltage? YES - Go to step 7. NO - Repair open in the wire between the No. 13 ACG (15 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the ELD, then go to step 13 .
  7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
  8. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
  9. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P).
  10. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A10 and ELD 3P connector terminal No. 3. Is there continuity? YES - Go to step 11. NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A10) and the ELD, then go to step 13 .
  11. Check for continuity between ELD 3P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Go to step 12. NO - Repair open in the wire between the ELD and G301 (see «CONNECTOR TO FUSE/RELAY BOX INDEX»(ref-512380-S35566041542012103100000) ), then go to step 13 .
  12. Replace the ELD (see «ELD Replacement»(ref-512332-S02713439312012103100000) ).
  13. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  14. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  15. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-512362-S04299387872012103100000) ).
  16. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P1298 indicated? YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ELD and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 17. NO - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
  17. Update the «ECM/PCM»(ref-512332-S15795428962012103100000) if it does not have the latest software (see «ECM/PCM Update»(ref-512332-S15795428962012103100000) ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-512356-S00793962012012103100000) ).
  18. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P1298 indicated? YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ELD and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-512356-S00793962012012103100000) ), then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1 . NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original «ECM/PCM»(ref-512332-S08907075282012103100000) (see «ECM/PCM Replacement»(ref-512332-S08907075282012103100000) ). If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
