DESCRIPTION:
When diagnosing an intermittent no start condition the immoblizer system should be checked for DTCs. Immoblizer DTCs IMM-233, -234 or -321 may be stored in the control module due to incorrect terminal contact. The most common failure is that a female terminal is too wide and gives poor contact or oxidation.
Check the male/female pin contact for connector 4/22 7/39 and to ECM (Engine control module) BEFORE any hardware is being replaced (such as Immobilizer control unit).
Note:
If any hardware is being replaced without correcting defect terminals, it might end up with an immo code mismatch between the ECM and Immo control unit.
