Engine Does Not Crank, Passkey/Security Indicator Illuminates
FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THEN GOES OUT
- Disconnect theft deterrent relay connector. Connect test light between theft deterrent relay connector terminal A1 (Yellow/Black wire) and battery voltage. Observe test light and turn ignition switch to START position.
- If test light does not illuminate, check for poor connection, open or short to voltage in Yellow/Black wire. If Yellow/Black wire is okay, replace theft deterrent module. If test light illuminates, connect test light between theft deterrent relay connector terminal C2 (Purple wire) and ground. Observe test light and turn ignition switch to START position.
- If test light does not illuminate, check for an open or short to ground in Purple wire. If Purple wire is okay, check for an open in Yellow wire between theft deterrent relay and starter solenoid, or open in power feed through and including ignition switch. If test light illuminates, connect test light between theft deterrent relay connector terminal C1 (Red wire) and ground. Observe test light and turn ignition switch to START position.
- If test light does not illuminate, check for open in Red wire between theft deterrent relay connector terminal C1 and splice. If test light illuminates, connect 30-amp fused jumper wire between theft deterrent relay connector terminals C1 (Red wire) and A2 (Yellow wire). Turn ignition switch to START position.
- If engine does not crank, diagnose problem with starting or charging system. See appropriate GENERATOR & REGULATOR or STARTER article in ELECTRICAL section. If engine cranks, check for poor connections at theft deterrent relay. If connections are okay, replace theft deterrent relay. Also, check for short in Yellow wire between theft deterrent relay and starter solenoid. A short in Yellow wire may cause theft deterrent relay to fail.
