    1. Remove the engine switch (see REMOVAL  ).
    2. Apply battery voltage between the terminals of the engine switch, and check the illumination condition of the engine switch indicator light.
      NOTE:
      • If the positive (+) lead and the negative (-) lead are incorrectly connected, the engine switch indicator light will not illuminate.
      • If the voltage is too low, the indicator light will not illuminate.

      OK 

      ENGINE SWITCH

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Battery terminal (+) → Terminal 11 (SWIL) - Battery terminal (-) → Terminal 5 (GND) Always Illuminates
      Battery terminal (+) → Terminal 12 (INDS) - Battery terminal (-) → Terminal 5 (GND) Always Illuminates
      Battery terminal (+) → Terminal 13 (INDW) - Battery terminal (-) → Terminal 5 (GND) Always Illuminates

    NG: REPLACE ENGINE SWITCH (See  REMOVAL   ) 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE SWITCH - MAIN BODY ECU AND BODY GROUND)

    1. Disconnect the L36 engine switch connector.
    2. Disconnect the L13 main body ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      ENGINE SWITCH - MAIN BODY ECU AND BODY GROUND

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L36-11 (SWIL)-L13-25 (SWIL) Always Below 1 Ω
      L36-12(INDS)-L13-15 (INDS) Always Below 1 Ω
      L36-13(INDW)-L13-14 (INDW) Always Below 1 Ω
      L36-5 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      L36-11 (SWIL) or L13-25 (SWIL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      L36-12(INDS)orL13-15 (INDS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      L36-13(INDW)orL13-14 (INDW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU
