CHECK TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the I19 transponder key ECU assembly connector.
Measure the resistance and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Tech Tips
Measure the values on the wire harness side with the connector disconnected.
| Tester Connection | Wiring Color | Terminal Description | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I19-1 (+B) - I19-5 (GND) | W - BR | Battery | Always | 11 to 14 V |
| I19-2 (IG) - I19-5 (GND) | R - BR | Ignition switch signal | Ignition switch off | Below 1 V |
| Ignition switch ON | 11 to 14 V | |||
| I19-3 (KSW) - I19-5 (GND) | G - BR | Unlock warning switch signal | No door control transmitter assembly in ignition key cylinder | 10 kΩ or higher |
| Door control transmitter assembly in ignition key cylinder | Below 1 Ω | |||
| I19-5 (GND) - Body ground | BR - Body ground | Ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
If the result is not as specified, there may be a malfunction on the wire harness side.
Reconnect the I19 transponder key ECU assembly connector.
Measure the resistance and voltage, and check for pulses according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Wiring Color | Terminal Description | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I19-8 (IND) - I19-5 (GND) | L - BR | Security indicator signal | No door control transmitter assembly in ignition key cylinder, or 20 sec. elapsed after turning ignition switch to ACC or off (engine immobiliser system set) | Pulse generation |
| Door control transmitter assembly in ignition key cylinder (engine immobiliser system unset) | Below 1 V | |||
| I19-9 (D) - I19-5 (GND) | GR - BR | DLC3 communication | Without communication | Below 1 V |
| During communication | Pulse generation | |||
| I19-4 (ANT1) - I19-5 (GND) | LG - BR | Transponder key amplifier power source | No door control transmitter assembly in ignition key cylinder | 4 to 6 V |
| Within 3 seconds of inserting door control transmitter assembly into ignition key cylinder | Pulse generation (See waveform 1) |
|||
| I19-9 (D) - I19-5 (GND) | GR - BR | Transponder key amplifier communication signal | No door control transmitter assembly in ignition key cylinder | 4 to 6 V |

| I19-12 (EFII) - I19-5 (GND) | R - BR | ECM input signal | Within 3 seconds of starter operation and initial combustion, or within 3 seconds of ignition switch first being turned to ON after cable disconnected and reconnected to negative (-) battery terminal | Pulse generation (See waveform 3) |
| I19-13 (EFIO) - I19-5 (GND) | G - BR | ECM output signal | Ignition switch off | Below 1 V |
| Ignition switch ON | Pulse generation (See waveform 4) |
If the result is not as specified, the transponder key ECU assembly may be malfunctioning.
Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

CHECK ECM
Tech Tips
The standard voltage between each pair of ECM terminals is shown in the table below. The appropriate conditions for checking each pair of terminals are also indicated. The result of checks should be compared with the standard voltage or resistance for that pair of terminals, displayed in the "Specified Condition" column. The illustration above can be used as a reference to identify the ECM terminal locations.
