Starter Switch Signal: 3.5RL

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Acura 3.5RL, 2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2003 Acura 3.2TL, and 2003 Acura 3.2CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure voltage by backprobing between PCM 26-pin harness connector terminal No. 26 (Brown/Black wire) and PCM 12-pin harness connector terminal No. 6 (Blue/Red wire) with ignition switch in START position. See Figure . If battery voltage is present, starter switch signal is okay. If battery voltage is not present, inspect No. 14 STARTER SIGNAL (7.5-amp) fuse in underdash fuse/relay box. If fuse is okay, repair open in Blue/Red wire between PCM 12-pin harness connector terminal No. 6 and No. 14 STARTER SIGNAL (7.5 amp) fuse. If fuse is blown, repair short in Blue/Red wire between PCM 12-pin harness connector terminal No. 6, No. 14 STARTER SIGNAL (7.5 amp) fuse in under-dash fuse/relay box and PGM-FI main relay terminal No. 2. Replace fuse.
