CAUTIONIf ECM replacement is instructed in following testing, always ensure ECM connectors and ground circuit are okay. If either are suspect, repair and repeat testing to confirm ECM malfunction.

Circuit Description

  1. Starter signal open or short circuit.
  2. Ignition switch or starter relay open or short circuit.
  3. ECM.

Note. Scan tester diagnosis can only be attempted with Toyota scan tester operated in CHECK mode.
