1. Check for continuity between body ground and PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 4 individually.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1 and the No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse. Also replace the No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse.■
NO | - | Go to Step 22 .

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 30 seconds.

1. Disconnect ECM connector No. 2 (58P).

1. Disconnect the fuel rail pressure control valve 2P connector.

1. Check for continuity between PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1, the fuel rail pressure control valve and ECM connector No. 2 terminal No. 1, No. 3 or No. 5. Also replace the No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse.■
NO | - | Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM. ■

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

1. Disconnect PGM-FI main relay 1.

1. Measure voltage between body ground and PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 4 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

YES | - | Go to Step 29 .
NO | - | Repair open in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1 and the No. 8 FI ECU (ECM) (20 A) fuse.■

1. Disconnect ECM connector No. 2 (58P).

1. Connect PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminal No. 3 to body ground with a jumper wire.

1. Check for continuity between ECM connector No. 2 terminal No. 19 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Go to Step 35 .
NO | - | Go to Step 32 .

1. Disconnect the inertia switch 3P connector.

1. Connect inertia switch 3P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3 with a jumper wire.

1. Check for continuity between ECM connector No. 2 terminal No. 19 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Replace the inertia switch .■
NO | - | Repair open in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1 and ECM connector No. 2 terminal No. 19.■

1. Measure voltage between ECM connector No. 2 terminal No. 35 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES | - | Go to Step 37 .
