NOTE

Be sure the battery is fully charged.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
Disconnect the vehicle-down sensor connector and connect the measuring adapter [A] between these connectors as shown in the figure.

Main Harness [B] Vehicle-down Sensor [C]

Special Tool - Measuring Adapter: 57001-1700

Connect a digital meter [D] to the measuring adapter leads.

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Inspection

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Connections to Adapter: Digital Meter (+) → R (sensor BL) lead Digital Meter (–) → BK (sensor BR/BK) lead

Vehicle-down Sensor Input Voltage Inspection

Measure the input voltage with the engine stopped and with the connector joined.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Input Voltage Standard: DC 4.75 5.25 V

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

If the reading is within the standard, check the output voltage (see Vehicle-down Sensor Output Voltage Inspection).

If the reading is out of the standard, remove the ECU and check the wiring for continuity between main harness connectors.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Disconnect the ECU and sensor connectors.
