STEP	INSPECTION	RESULTS	ACTION
1	Note • The following test should be perform for the vehicles with immobilizer system. Go to Step 11 for the vehicle without immobilizer system. • Connect the WDS or equivalent to DLC-2. • Do following conditions appear? • Engine is not completely started. • DTC B1681 is displayed.	Yes	Both conditions appear: Go to Step 4.
1		No	Either or conditions appears: Go to the next step.
2	• Is the connector securely connected to coil?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2	• Is the connector securely connected to coil?	No	Connect the coil connector securely. Return to Step 1.
3	• Does security light illuminates?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3	• Does security light illuminates?	No	Inspect for following wiring harness and connectors: • Between PCM terminal 15 and instrument cluster terminal 3C (R.H.D.) • Between PCM terminal 16 and instrument cluster terminal 3E (R.H.D.) If they are okay, inspect instrument cluster. (See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INSPECTION [EXCEPT L3].)
4	• Connect the WDS or equivalent to DLC-2 and retrieve DTC. • Are there following DTCs displayed? DTC B1213, B1342, B1600, B1601, B1602, B1681, B2103, B2431	Yes	Go to appropriate DTC test.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	• Is there continuity between PCM GND harness side terminals 3, 24, 51, 76, 103 (R.H.D.)/C-47,C-48,C-49 (L.H.D.) and GND?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Repair or replace wiring harness.
6	• Measure voltage between PCM GND terminals 3, 3, 24, 51, 76, 103 (R.H.D.)/C-47,C-48,C-49 (L.H.D.) and coil terminal B. • Is the voltage below 1.0 V?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Repair or replace wiring harness.
7	• Turn the ignition switch to ON position. • Access VPWR PID. • Is VPWR PID okay? Specification Battery voltage	Yes	Go to the next step.
7		No	Repair or replace wiring harness.
8	• Disconnect the coil connector. • Turn the ignition switch to ON position. • Is there battery voltage at coil connector terminal A (harness-side)?	Yes	Go to the next step.
8		No	Repair or replace wiring harness between coil connector terminal A and ignition switch.
9	• Inspect for open or short circuit in following: - Between coil terminal C and PCM terminal 17 (R.H.D.) - Between coil terminal D and PCM terminal 18 (R.H.D.) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace wiring harness.
9		No	Go to the next step.
10	• Is there continuity between PCM terminal 44 (R.H.D.) and starter relay with P or N position (ATX)?	Yes	Go to the next step.
10		No	Repair or replace wiring harness.
11	• Verify following: - Battery connection - Battery condition - If transaxle is in Park or Neutral - Fuses • Are all items okay?	Yes	Go to the next step.
11		No	Service as necessary. Repeat Step 11.
12	• Is clicking sound heard from starter when key is turned to START?	Yes	Go to the next step.
12		No	Go to Step 15.
13	• Inspect starting system. (See STARTER INSPECTION [AJ (3.0L Duratec)].) • Is starting system okay?	Yes	Inspect for seized/hydrolocked engine or drive plate.
13		No	Repair or replace components as required.
14	• Inspect the starter relay. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) • Is the starter relay okay?	Yes	Go to the next step.
14		No	Replace the starter relay.
15	• Do any other electrical accessories work?	Yes	Go to the next step.
15	• Do any other electrical accessories work?	No	Inspect charging system. (See BATTERY INSPECTION [L3, AJ (3.0L Duratec)].) (See GENERATOR INSPECTION [AJ (3.0L Duratec)].)
16	• Inspect adjustment of TR switch. • Is TR switch adjusted properly?	Yes	Go to the next step.
16		No	If TR switch is adjusted properly, inspect for open circuit between TR switch and starter relay or starter.
17	• Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2. • Turn key to ON. • Retrieve any DTCs. • Is "PASSED" displayed?	Yes	No DTC displayed: • Inspect START circuit in ignition switch. • Inspect for open circuit between ignition switch and starter.
17		No	DTC is displayed: • Go to appropriate DTC test. Communication error message is displayed: • Inspect for following: - Open circuit between main relay terminal D and PCM terminal 71 or 97 (R.H.D.) - Open circuit between main relay terminal C and PCM terminal C-35 or C-36 (L.H.D.) - Open main relay GND circuit - Main relay is stuck open. - Open or poor GND circuit (PCM terminal 3, 24, 51, 76 or 103 (R.H.D.)/C-47,C-48 or C-49 (L.H.D.)) - Poor connection of vehicle body GND
18	• Verify test results. - If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms. - If malfunction remains, inspect related Service Information and perform repair or diagnosis. • If vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting completed. • If vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, replace PCM.
