  5. Is the measured value within specification?

    YES 

    • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
    • If the diagnostics have been performed correctly with no failure found, replace the PCM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair " procedure.
      CAUTION: When replacing the ECM/PCM, the vehicle equipped with the immobilizer must be performed procedure as below.
      [In the case of installing used ECM/PCM]
      1. Perform "ECM/PCM Neutral mode" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM )
      2. After finishing "ECM/PCM Neutral mode", perform "Key teaching" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM )

      [In the case of installing new ECM/PCM]
      Perform "Key teaching" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM )
      CAUTION: When replacing the ECM/PCM, the vehicle equipped with the smart key system (Button start) must be performed procedure as below.
      [In the case of installing used ECM/PCM]
      1. Perform "ECM/PCM Neutral mode" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to "SMART KEY ")
      2. After finishing "ECM/PCM Neutral mode", insert the key (or press the start button) and turn it to the IGN ON and OFF position. Then the PCM learns the smart key information automatically.

      [In the case of installing new ECM/PCM]
      Insert the key (or press the start button) and turn it to the IGN ON and OFF position. Then the ECM/PCM learns the smart key information automatically.

    NO 

    • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
    • If no problems were found with the circuits or connectors, replace Acceleration Pedal Position Sensor and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair " procedure.
