- Engine ECM pin A08 to ground

- Engine ECM pin A21 to ground

OK

Proceed to test 3

Short circuit

Locate and rectify wiring fault, replace Fuse 5 and proceed to test 6

3

Check cable and terminal integrity:

- Engine ECM pin A27

- EMS main relay pin 1

- EMS main relay pin 2

- EMS main relay pin 3
