If it is normal, the ecu could be faulty. In this case, replace the ecu with one that functions normally and check if the symptoms appear.
- Measure the resistance between the ecu ground
terminal and body ground.
Resistance: 1 Ω or less
- Disconnect the ecu connector, check the ground terminals on the ecu side and wire harness side for bends and check the contact pressure.
