Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION	RESULTS	ACTION
1	Note • The following test should be perform for vehicles with immobilizer system. Go to Step 10 for vehicles without immobilizer system. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Do following conditions appear? • Engine is not completely started. • DTC P1260 is displayed.	Yes	Both conditions appear: Go to Step 4.
1		No	Either or other condition appears: Go to the next step.
2	Is the coil connector securely connected to coil?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2	Is the coil connector securely connected to coil?	No	Connect the coil connector securely. Return to Step 1.
3	Does the security light illuminate?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3	Does the security light illuminate?	No	Inspect the instrument cluster and wiring harness.
4	Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2 and retrieve the any DTCs. DTC P1259, P1260, P1602, P1603, P1621, P1622, P1623, P1624	Yes	Go to the appropriate DTC test.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	Is there continuity between PCM ground terminals 202, 204, 206 and ground?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Repair or replace wiring harness.
6	Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off). Access the VPWR PID. Is the VPWR PID normal? Specification Battery voltage	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Repair or replace wiring harness.
7	Inspect the following wiring harnesses and connectors. • Between immobilizer unit terminal F and coil terminal A • Between immobilizer unit terminal D and coil terminal C Is there any malfunction (open or short circuit, terminal corrosion, etc.)?	Yes	Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	Inspect the following: • Battery connection • Battery condition • Fuses Are all items normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
8		No	Service if necessary. Repeat Step 12.
9	Is the clicking sound heard from starter when engine switch is turned to START?	Yes	Go to Step 11.
9		No	Go to the next step.
10	Inspect the starting system. Is the starting system normal?	Yes	Inspect for seized/hydrolocked engine, dual-mass flywheel.
10		No	Repair or replace components as required.
11	Do any other electrical accessories work?	Yes	Go to the next step.
11	Do any other electrical accessories work?	No	Inspect the charging system.
12	Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off). Retrieve the any DTCs. Are any DTC displayed?	Yes	DTC is displayed: Go to the appropriate DTC test. Communication error message is displayed: inspect the following: • Open circuit between main relay and PCM terminal 201, 203, 205 • Open circuit main relay and PCM terminal 219 • Main relay stuck open • Open or poor ground circuit (PCM terminal 202, 204, 206) • Poor connection vehicle body ground
12		No	No DTC is displayed: inspect the following: • START circuit in engine switch • Open circuit between engine switch and starter
13	Verify test results. • If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX [WL-C, WE-C].) • If the malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis. ― If the vehicle is repaired, the troubleshooting completed. ― If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if later calibration is available. Retest.
