How to Troubleshoot Circuits At the PCM
How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the PCM Connectors
NOTE: The PCM overwrites data and monitors the EVAP system for up to 15 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. Jumping the SCS line
after turning the ignition switch OFF cancels this function. Disconnecting the PCM during this function, without jumping the SCS line first, can damage
the PCM.
1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
2. Remove the cover from the PCM, disconnect the PCM connectors and probe the terminals from the terminal side of the connectors.
3. Check the connector terminal diameter, and select the suitable pin probe (male) and/or flat spade probe (male).
4. Connect one side of the patch cord (A) terminals to a commercially available digital multimeter (B), and connect the other side of the patch cord
terminals to a commercially available banana jack (Pomona Electronics Tool No. 3563 or equivalent) (C).
5. When diagnosis/troubleshooting is done at a PCM connector, use the measurement hole (A) above the terminal you need to check.
6. Gently slide the pin probe (male) into the connector terminals from the terminal side. Do not force the tips into the terminals.
NOTE:
-
For accurate results, always use the pin probe (male).
-
To prevent damage to the connector terminals, do not insert test equipment probes, paper clips, or other substitutes as they can damage the
terminals. Damaged terminals cause a poor connection and an incorrect measurement.
-
Do not puncture the insulation on a wire. Punctures can cause poorer intermittent electrical connections.
