System Check



SYSTEM CHECK

^ Do the following checks to choose the proper diagnostic tests.

PASS KEY OR STARTER SYSTEM

A no crank condition can be by the "PASS-Key" System or the Battery Starter System. To locate the cause of the condition, follow these procedures.


1. Check if Code 46 (except VIN E) or Code 53 (VIN E) is set or displayed.


^ If code 46 or 53 is present, proceed to PASS-Key System Diagnosis.


^ If code 46 or 53 is not present, go to step 2.

2. Go to the Starter Enable Relay that is behind the LH side of the lip, near the Fuse Block (See Component Location Views). Backprobe terminal B of the relay (BLK YEL wire) with a voltmeter to ground. Leave the connector on the relay.

3. Turn the Ignition Switch to START.

^ If there is battery voltage at terminal B in START, go to PASS Key system diagnosis.

^ If terminal B has 0-1.5 volts in START, continue with diagnosis of the starter system. The condition exists in the Ignition Switch or Starter System.
