CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
A momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connectors and/or wire harness between the sensors and ECUs can be detected using the ECU Data List function of the Techstream.
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Follow the directions on the Techstream to display the Data List and select areas where momentary interruption should be monitored.

(f) While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connector or wire harness between the ECU and sensors, or between ECUs.
OK:
Normal display appears.
HINT:
The connector and/or wire harness has a momentary interruption (open circuit) if the display changes. Repair or replace the connector and/or wire harness as one of them is faulty.

PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY
(a) Stop the vehicle and position the front wheels straight ahead.
(b) Gently turn the steering wheel right and left, and check the steering wheel

ECU Power Source Circuit
DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, voltage from the ECM's MREL terminal
is applied to the EFI MAIN relay. This causes the contacts of the EFI MAIN relay
to close, which supplies power to terminal +B of the TCM.
