Immobilizer Indicator Light Does Not Come ON with Ignition Switch ON and Engine Stop

Wiring Diagram

Refer to Immobilizer Control System Wiring Circuit Diagram Immobilizer Control System Wiring Circuit Diagram.

Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM transmits the indication ON signal to the combination meter to turn ON the immobilizer indicator light in case that there is not any problem with the immobilizer control system. Then, the combination meter turns ON the light. When the engine is started up, ECM transmits the indication OFF signal to the combination meter to turn OFF the light. Then, the combination meter turns OFF the immobilizer indicator light. However, in case that there is some trouble with the immobilizer control system, the immobilizer indicator light flashes ON and OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.

Troubleshooting

1. Immobilizer indicator light power supply check

Turn the ignition switch to ON position.

Do other warning lights come ON?
YES -
Go to Step 2.
NO -
Go to Step 4.

2. DTC check of ECM

Check ECM for DTC referring to DTC Check DTC Check.

Is DTC U0073, U0101, U0121, U0140 and/or U0155 detected?
YES -
Go to applicable DTC troubleshooting.
NO -
Go to Step 3.

3. DTC check of BCM

Check BCM for DTC referring to DTC Check DTC Check.

Is DTC U0073, U0100, U0101, U0144, U0151 and/or U0155 detected?
YES -
Go to applicable DTC troubleshooting.
NO -
Substitute a known-good combination meter and recheck. If immobilizer indicator light still remains off substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.

4. Fuse check

Turn the ignition switch to OFF position.
Check fuse for combination meter circuit.

Is fuse blown?
YES -
Replace blown fuse, and then check for short.
NO -
Go to Step 5.

5. Combination meter power supply wire circuit check

Remove combination meter referring to Service and Repair Combination Meter Removal and Installation.
Check for proper connection at terminals and wires of combination meter connector.
If OK, turn the ignition switch to ON position and measure voltage between power supply terminal of combination meter and vehicle body ground. Refer to [1][2]Electrical Diagrams Combination Meter Circuit Diagram.

Is it 10 - 14 V?
YES -
Go to Step 6.
NO -
Repair open in power supply wire circuit.

6. Combination meter ground wire circuit check

Turn ignition switch OFF position.
Measure resistance between ground terminal of combination meter connector and vehicle body ground. Refer to [1][2]Electrical Diagrams Combination Meter Circuit Diagram.

Is resistance 1 ohms or less?
YES -
Substitute a known-good combination meter and recheck. If still remains OFF, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
NO -
Repair open or high resistance in ground circuit.
