INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CLEAR DTC
(a) Clear the Clear the DTCs. Engine Immobilizer System
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK FOR DTC
(a) Check for DTCs. Engine Immobilizer System
HINT: If DTCs other than DTC B279A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Result





B -- Go to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
A -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILISER CODE ECU) - ECM)





(a) Disconnect the E28 box connector.
(b) Disconnect the A38 ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:






Standard Voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILISER CODE ECU) (OUTPUT)





(a) Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

Measurement Condition





OK:
Waveform is output normally (see illustration).
NG -- CHECK ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILISER CODE ECU) (POWER SOURCE AND BODY GROUND)
OK -- REPLACE ECM
5. CHECK ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILISER CODE ECU) (POWER SOURCE AND BODY GROUND)





(a) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILISER CODE ECU)
