Trouble Shooting Hints

On all models, note condition of SECURITY indicator light. If indicator stays on or flashes continuously, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section. Check starter solenoid terminals and battery grounds. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment. Perform self-diagnostic system test, to be certain no trouble codes are stored in PCM memory which may lead to misdiagnosis. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

Check 40-amp IGN MAIN 1 maxi-fuse, located in underhood electrical center. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS  table. If fuse is open, check for short to ground in Red wire between underhood electrical center connector C5 terminal "B" and ignition switch. If Red wire is okay, check for short to ground in Yellow wire, between ignition switch and transaxle range switch connector C1 terminal "G". Also check for short to ground in Purple wire, between transaxle range switch connector C1 terminal "E" and starter solenoid terminal "S".
