Inspection Procedure

HINT:

  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
    3. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST/ ALL/STARTER SIG.
    4. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

      Result 

      IGNITION SWITCH RESULT REFERENCE

      Ignition Switch Position STARTER SIG
      ON OFF
      START ON

    OK: REPLACE ECM 

    NG: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OR CLUTCH START SWITCH 
    1. Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (for A/T models).
      1. Disconnect the P1 PNP switch connector.
      2. Measure the resistance when the transmission gear selector lever is moved to each position.

        Standard resistance
