Ignition Switch - ST (Start) System

NOTE: This procedure applies to manual transaxle models only.
  1. Remove starter relay located in underhood fuse/relay box. See Figure . Check for poor connections at starter relay. Repair as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  2. Test starter relay. See STARTER RELAY  . Replace as necessary. If starter relay is okay, go to next step.
  3. With starter relay removed, using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and starter relay connector terminals No. 3 (Black/Red wire) and No. 4 (Black/Red wire). Turn ignition switch to START position. Battery voltage should be indicated with ignition switch in START position. If battery voltage is as specified, go to next step. If battery voltage is not as specified, repair open in Black/Red wire between ignition switch connector terminal No. 5 and starter relay.
  4. Turn ignition off. Check for poor connections or faulty terminals at Engine Control Module (ECM) connector C-118. ECM is located on passenger's side of vehicle. See Figure . Repair faulty connections as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  5. Install starter relay into underhood fuse/relay box. Disconnect ECM connector C-118. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground, and ECM connector C-118 terminal No. 68 (Black/Red wire). Turn ignition switch to START position. Battery voltage should be indicated with ignition switch in START position. If battery voltage is as specified, go to next step. If battery voltage is not as specified, repair open in Black/Red wire between ECM and starter relay.
  6. Check for poor connections or faulty terminals at clutch interlock switch connector. Clutch interlock switch is located above clutch pedal. Repair faulty connections as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  7. Test clutch interlock switch. See CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH  . Replace as necessary. If clutch interlock switch is okay, go to next step.
  8. With clutch interlock switch disconnected, using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and clutch interlock switch connector terminal No. 2 (Green/Black wire). Turn ignition switch to START position. Battery voltage should be indicated with ignition switch in START position. If battery voltage is as specified, go to next step. If battery voltage is not as specified, repair open in Green/Black wire between clutch interlock switch and starter relay.
  9. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and clutch interlock switch connector terminal No. 1 (Black wire). If resistance is 2 ohms or less, replace PCM. See REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION - CARS article. If resistance is greater than 2 ohms, repair open in Black wire between clutch interlock switch and ground.
