Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking the status




- Ignition on.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. Read off the 5 volt power supply from the engine control module (ECM). The value must be higher than 4 volts and lower than 6 volts. The fault is permanent if the value is incorrect. The fault is intermittent if the value is correct.










Continue - Checking the components and wiring

Checking the components and wiring

Note! If diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been stored for a component that is supplied with 5 volt in the engine control module (ECM), these diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) must be fault-traced first.

Check the power supply cables between engine control module (ECM) terminals #A13 (#A13), #A14 (#A14), #A15 (#A15), #A16 (#A16), A17 (#A17), #A39 (#A39) and #B31 (#C31), and components connected to these power supply cables. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can also be caused by an internal fault in the engine control module (ECM).
