• Is there any malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 8.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
6
|
INSPECT STARTER RELAY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Starter relay is removed.
• PCM and keyless control module connectors are disconnected.
• Disconnect the TR switch connector.
• Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
• Is there continuity?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground, then go to Step 8.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
7
|
INSPECT PCM
• Install the starter relay.
• Reconnect the TR switch, PCM, and keyless control module connectors.
• Reconnect the negative battery cable.
• Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
• Is the voltage normal?
(See PCM INSPECTION [LF, L5].)
(See PCM INSPECTION [ZY, Z6].)
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
|
||
8
|
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect the disconnected connectors.
• Reconnect the negative battery cable.
• Operate the advanced key to activate the keyless control module.
