Inspection Procedure
HINT:
- The following troubleshooting flowchart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine will not crank, proceed to the PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE on .
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / STARTER SIG.
- Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.
OK: Go to Next Step

- INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OR CLUTCH START SWITCH
- Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (for A/T models).
- Disconnect the A3 PNP switch connector.
- Measure the resistance when the transmission gear selector lever is moved to each position.

TESTER CONNECTION - SPECIFIED CONDITIONSGear Selector Lever Position Tester Connection Specified Condition P 1 - 3, 6 - 9 Below 1 Ω N 3 - 5, 6 - 9 Below 1 Ω
- Inspect the clutch start switch (for M/T models).
NG: REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OR CLUTCH START SWITCH (GO TO NEXT STEP AFTER REPLACEMENT)
