Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Start the engine before inspection. Check the P-IG relay 1 or battery if the smart access system with push-button start does not start.

  1. INSPECT FUSE (P-IG1-1) 
    1. Remove the P-IG 1-1 fuse from the passenger side junction block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      P-IG1-1 fuse Always Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  2. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (IG+ VOLTAGE) 
    1. Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors still connected (see REMOVAL  ).
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      L76-5 (IG+) - L76-1 (GND) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      L76-5 (IG+) - L76-2 (FGND) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      L76-5 (IG+) - L77-6 (RGND) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  )

    NG: Go to next step. 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the L76 and L77 air conditioning amplifier connectors.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      L76-5 (IG+) - Body ground Engine switch off Below 1 V
      Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L.76-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      L76-2 (FGND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      L77-6 (RGND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
