Troubleshooting

Caution

when using the multi-circuit tester, do not strongly touch the terminal of the ecm coupler with a needle pointed tester probe to prevent terminal damage.

 

Note

after repairing the trouble, clear the dtc using sds tool. Refer to “use of sds diagnosis reset procedures” .

C14 (use of mode select switch)

Step

Action

Yes

No

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2.  Lift and support the fuel tank. Refer to “fuel tank removal and installation” in section 1g .
  3.  Check the tp sensor couplers (1) and (2) for loose or poor contacts.

    If ok, then measure the tp sensor input voltage.


  1. Disconnect the tp sensor coupler (1).
  2.  Turn the ignition switch on.
  3.  Measure the input voltage between the r wire and ground. Also, measure the voltage between the r wire and b/br wire.

Special tool (a): 09900–25008 (multi
circuit tester set)

Tester knob indication voltage ( )


Tp sensor input voltage 4.5 – 5.5 V ((+) terminal: r – (–) terminal: ground, (+) terminal: r – (–) terminal: b/br)


Is the voltage ok?

 Go to step 3.
  • Loose or poor contacts on the ecm coupler.
  •  Open or short circuit in the r wire or b/br wire.

Step

Action

Yes

No

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2.  Lift and support the fuel tank. Refer to “fuel tank removal and installation” in section 1g .
  3.  Check the tp sensor couplers (1) and (2) for loose or poor contacts.

    If ok, then check the tp sensor lead wire continuity.


  1. Disconnect the tp sensor couplers (1) and (2).
  2.  Check the continuity between the p/b wire and r wire.

    If the sound is not heard from the tester, the circuit condition is ok.

Tp sensor output voltage throttle valve is closed: approx. 1.1 V throttle valve is opened: approx. 4.4 V ((+) terminal: p/b – (–) terminal: b/br)


Is the voltage ok?
  • P/b, r or b/br wire open or shorted to ground, or poor “6”, “7” or “35” connection.
  •  If wire and connection are ok, intermittent trouble or faulty ecm.
  •  Recheck each terminal and wire harness for open circuit and poor connection.
  •  Replace the ecm with a known good one, and inspect it again. Refer to “ecm removal and installation” in section 1c .
 If check result is not satisfactory, replace tp sensor with a new one.
