Go to Step 10.

No

Reinstall the ENGINE2 15 A fuse, then go to the next step.

6

• Main relay is removed.

• Inspect for continuity between main relay terminal C (wiring harness-side) and body ground.

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Disconnect the PCM connector and inspect the wiring harness for short to ground.
