INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

Tech Tips

This inspection procedure is based on the premise that the engine can crank normally. If the engine cannot crank normally, proceed to the problem symptoms table Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (STARTER SIGNAL)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT/ Data List / Starter Signal.

    5. Read the value.

      OK
      Engine Switch Position Starter Signal
      On (IG) Close (Starter signal OFF)
      START Open (Starter signal ON)

    NG

  2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY


    1. Inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly Click here.


    NG

    REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY Click here

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F65-5 - A21-20 (STA) Always Below 1 Ω
      F65-5 or A21-20 (STA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK
