Toyota Corolla (E120): Check and replace ecu
Notice
: start an inspection of the connector from the backside of the connector on the wire harness side with the connector connected to the ecu.
When no measurement condition is specified, perform the inspection with the engine stopped and also the ignition switch on.
- First check the ecu ground circuit. If it is faulty, repair it.
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.

On–vehicle inspection
1. Check cooling fan operation with low temperature (below 83 c (181 f))
Turn the ignition switch on.
check that the cooling fan stops.
Hint:
if not, check the cooling fan relay and water temperature sensor, and check for
separated connector or severed
wire between the cooling fan ...
