Check pins 1-6 for 12V and ground. Also verify ignition input on pin 42/46. If missing, the main relay won’t trigger.

This is the gold standard.

Some ECU rebuilders publish connector pinouts for testing. Example:

Elias traced the heavy gauge wires coming from the battery. He knew the ECU needed constant power and ignition power. He found the diagram on a secure, verified technical repository.

The "link" he finally trusted showed him the truth:

He grabbed his multimeter. With the key on, he probed Pin 45. Nothing. Zero volts. He grabbed his multimeter

The ECU wasn't broken. The truck wasn't starting because the ECU didn't know the key was turned on. The "link" to the ignition switch was severed.

Following the pinout diagram, he traced the wire from the ECU connector, through the firewall, and found a corroded splice in the main harness behind the glove box. He cleaned the connection, wrapped it in new tape, and reconnected the battery.

He turned the key. The Wait-to-Start light illuminated (the ECU was awake). He cranked the engine. through the firewall

Vroom. The 4HL1 roared to life, the smell of success replacing the smell of frustration.

High resistance on injector pins → measure between 0.2-1.0 ohms per injector. Broken return wire (pin 22, 24, 26, 28) is a frequent fault.

The 4HL1 uses a common rail injection system with a rail pressure sensor, IMV (inlet metering valve), and EUI-type injectors. Without the pinout, you’re guessing.
