DESCRIPTION | • Starter does not work.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • Coil antenna is not securely connected • Instrument cluster malfunction • Immobilizer system operating properly (ignition key is not registered) • Immobilizer system and/or circuit malfunction • Battery malfunction • Starter malfunction • Seized/hydrolocked engine, flywheel or drive plate • Charging system malfunction • TR switch misadjustment (AT) • TR switch malfunction (AT) • Open starter circuit between ignition switch and starter • PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | RESULTS | ACTION
--- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Do the following conditions appear? • The engine is not completely started. • DTC P1260 is displayed. | Yes | Both conditions appear: • Go to Step 4.
No | Either or other condition appears: • Go to the next step.
2 | Is the coil antenna connector securely connected? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Connect the coil antenna connector securely. Return to Step 1.
3 | Does the security light flash? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Inspect the instrument cluster. (See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INSPECTION.) Replace the instrument cluster, if necessary. (See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4 | Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Retrieve the DTC for PCM and immobilizer system. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L8, LF].) (See DTC INSPECTION [IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM)].) Are any DTCs present? | Yes | Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [L8, LF].) (See DTC TABLE [IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM)].)
No | Go to the next step.
5 | Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals and connectors: • Coil antenna terminal A and instrument cluster terminal 2S • Coil antenna terminal B and instrument cluster terminal 2Q Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness and connector.
No | Go to the next step.
6 | Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals and connectors: • PCM terminal 1AI and instrument cluster terminal 1L • PCM terminal 1AM and instrument cluster terminal 1J | Yes | Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness and connector.
No | AT: • Go to the next step. MT: • Go to Step 8.
7 | Inspect for continuity between PCM terminal 1B and starter relay with P or N position. Is there continuity? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness.
8 | Inspect the following: • Battery connection • Battery condition • Fuses • Transmission in Park or Neutral (AT) Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results. Repeat Step 8.
No | Go to the next step.
9 | Is clicking sound heard from starter when the ignition switch is turned to START? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Go to Step 15.
10 | Inspect the starting system. (See STARTER INSPECTION [L8, LF].) Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results. (See STARTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
No | Go to the next step.
11 | Inspect for a seized/hydro locked engine or flywheel (MT) or drive plate (AT). (See FLYWHEEL INSPECTION.) Is the engine seized or hydro locked? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
12 | Do any other electrical accessories function? | Yes | AT: • Go to the next step. MT: • Go to Step 14.
No | Inspect charging system. (See GENERATOR INSPECTION [L8, LF].) Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results. (See GENERATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
13 | Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Perform the PID/DATA Monitor and Record Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L8, LF].) Access the TR PID. Is TR PID indicated P/N when selecting P or N position? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Inspect TR switch is adjusted properly. Inspect for open or short circuit between TR switch and PCM terminal 1X or starter. Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
14 | Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Perform the DTC Reading Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L8, LF].) Are any DTCs present? | Yes | DTC is present: • Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [L8, LF].) Communication error message is displayed: • Inspect the following: ― Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay and PCM terminal1AW, 1BE ― Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay terminal E and PCM terminal 1Q ― Main relay is stuck open ― Open or short circuit in wiring harness between DLC-2 and PCM terminals 1AM and 1AI ― Open or poor ground circuit (PCM terminal 1BH, 1AZ, 1BD or 1BB) ― Poor connection of vehicle body ground • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
No | Go to the next step.
15 | Perform the KOEO self test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [L8, LF].) Are any DTCs present? | Yes | Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [L8, LF].)
No | Inspect the following: • START circuit in ignition switch • Open circuit in wiring harness between ignition switch and starter Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
16 | Verify test results. • If normal, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. (See ENGINE SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING [L8, LF].) • If malfunction remains, inspect related Service information perform repair or diagnosis. ― If vehicle repaired, troubleshooting completed. ― If vehicle not repaired or additional diagnostic information not available, replace the PCM. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
