DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 INSPECT RELAY 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Remove the starter relay.

  • Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 5.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT STARTER RELAY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Starter relay is removed.
  • Keyless control module connector is disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Keyless control module terminal 3B-Starter relay terminal E
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the ST SIG 10 A fuse.
  • If the fuse is deterioration:
    • Replace the fuse.
  • If the fuse is normal:
    • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit.

Go to Step 5.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Starter relay terminal A-Keyless control module terminal 2F
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to the next step.
5 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
Yes Replace the keyless control module, then go to the next step.
(See KEYLESS CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
No Go to the next step.
6 VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCs ARE PRESENT 
  • Are any DTCs present?
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM] ).
