Toyota Corolla Repair Manual: Check open circuit
- For the open circuit in the wire harness in fig. 1, Perform a resistance check in step (b) or a voltage check in step (c) to locate the section.
- Check the resistance.
- Disconnect connectors a and c and measure the
resistance between them.
Resistance: 1 Ω or less
Hint
: measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally. In the case of fig. 2: Between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c " 10 kΩ
or higher between terminal 2 of connector a and terminal 2 of connector c " below 1 Ω
therefore, the cause is an open circuit between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Disconnect connector b and measure the resistance
between the connectors.
In the case of fig. 3: Between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector b1 " below 1 w between terminal 1 of connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c " 10 kw therefore, the cause is an open circuit between terminal 1 of connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Check the voltage.
- In a circuit in which voltage is applied (to the ecu
connector terminal), an open circuit can be checked
by conducting a voltage check.
As shown in fig. 4, With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the body ground and terminal 1 of connector a at the ecu 5 v output terminal, terminal 1 of connector b, and terminal 1 of connector c, in that order.
- If the results are: 5 v: between terminal 1 of connector a and body ground 5 v: between terminal 1 of connector b and body ground 0 v: between terminal 1 of connector c and body ground therefore, the cause is an open circuit in the wire harness between terminal 1 of connector b and terminal 1 of connector c.
Basic inspection
Resistance measuring condition of electronic parts
unless stated, all resistance is measured at an ambient
temperature of 20 c (68 °F). As the resistance

Check short circuit
If the wire harness is ground shorted as shown in fig. 5,
Locate the section by conducting a resistance check with
the body ground in step (b).

General information
There are many ecu controlled systems used in the corolla. In general, ecu
controlled system are considered
to be very intricate and require a high level of technical knowledge and expert
skill to troubleshoot.
The fact is, however, that if you proceed by inspecting the circuits one by one, ...
Description
When troubleshooting obd ii vehicles, the only difference
from the usual troubleshooting procedure is that you
need to connect the vehicle to the obd ii scan tool complying
with sae j1978 or the hand–held tester, and read
various data output from the vehicle’s ecm.
Obd ii regulations re ...
