DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Action
1 INSPECT RELAY 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Remove the starter relay.
  • Inspect the starter relay.

    (See RELAY INSPECTION ).

  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the relay, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
2 INSPECT STARTER CUT RELAY CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
  • Disconnect the starter cut relay connector.
  • 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 8.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT STARTER CUT RELAY 
Yes Replace the starter cut relay, then go to Step 8.
(See STARTER CUT RELAY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MTX] ).
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • 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 8.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT KEYLESS CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
  • Disconnect the keyless control module connector.
  • 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 8.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT STARTER RELAY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Starter relay is removed.
  • Starter cut relay, PCM and keyless control module connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminate (wiring harness-side) for short to power supply:
    • Starter relay terminal E-Keyless control module terminal 3B
    • Starter relay terminal A-Keyless control module terminal 2F
    • Starter relay terminal A-Starter cut relay terminal A
    • Starter cut relay terminal D-PCM terminal 1BB (LF, L5)
    • Starter cut relay terminal D-PCM terminal 1B (L3 WITH TC)
    • Starter cut relay terminal D-Keyless control module terminal 3T
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
7 INSPECT PCM 
  • Install the starter relay.
  • Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminal (wiring harness-side):
    • PCM terminal 1BB (LF, L5)
    • PCM terminal 1B (L3 WITH TC)
  • Is the voltage normal?

    (See PCM INSPECTION [LF, L5] ).

    (See PCM INSPECTION [L3 WITH TC] ).

Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5] ).
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3 WITH TC] ).
8 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.
9 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] ).
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
