10		No	Repair or replace the 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. (See BATTERY INSPECTION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].) (See GENERATOR INSPECTION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)
12	Note • The Following test should be performed on ATX only. For MTX, go to the next step. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Access TR PID. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Is TR PID indicated P/N when selecting the P or N position?	Yes	Go to the next step.
12		No	Inspect the TR switch adjustment. (See TRANSAXLE RANGE (TR) SWITCH INSPECTION[FN4A-EL].) • If the TR switch is adjusted properly, inspect for open circuit between the TR switch and the PCM terminal 1X or starter.
13	Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. Retrieve any continuous memory DTCs. Are there any continuous memory DTCs displayed?	Yes	DTC is displayed: Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE[ZJ, ZY, Z6].) Communication error message is displayed: Inspect for following: • Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay and PCM terminal 1BF, or 1BG (ATX) • Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay terminal B and PCM terminal 1AW • The main relay is stuck open. • Open or poor ground circuit (PCM terminal 2BH, 2AZ or 2BD) • Poor connection of vehicle body ground
13		No	No DTC is displayed: Inspect following: • START circuit in ignition switch • Open circuit in wiring harness between ignition switch and starter
14	Retrieve any KOEO DTCs using M-MDS. Are there DTCs displayed during KOEO inspection?	Yes	DTC is displayed: Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)
14		No	No DTC is displayed: Inspect following: • START circuit in ignition switch • Open circuit in wiring harness between ignition switch and starter
15	Verify test results. • If normal, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. (See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC INDEX [ZJ, ZY, Z6].) • 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 [ZJ, ZY, Z6].)
