DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, current flows from terminal STAR of the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) to the park/neutral position switch and to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
After turning engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
Tech Tips
This procedure is based on the premise that the engine can crank normally. If the engine cannot crank normally, proceed to the problem symptoms table.
