Symptoms

  • Check Engine light on
  • Inflated sensor readings on the diagnostic scanner
  • Error codes for sensors with the “Circuit High” type
  • Possible failure of several sensors
  • Unstable or incorrect engine operation

Causes

  • Internal malfunction of the ECU power stabilizer
  • Connecting the C wire to the higher voltage wire
  • Damaged insulation in the wiring harness
  • Poor quality wiring repair with incorrect connection
  • Generator voltage regulator malfunction causing network overvoltage

How to Fix

  1. Measure the actual voltage at the power terminal of circuit C
  2. Check the voltage of the on-board network (normal 13.8–14.4 V when the engine is running)
  3. Inspect the wiring harness for a short between wires on circuit C and adjacent wires.
  4. Check ECU grounding
  5. If the wiring is in good condition and the on-board network voltage is normal, diagnose the ECU
  6. After eliminating the cause, check the serviceability of the sensors in circuit C
