Inspection Procedure
- CHECK OPERATION OF ENGINE CRANKING
- When turning the ignition switch to the START position, check whether the starter motor starts.
OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
NG: Go to Next Step.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STA SIGNAL)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
- Read the values.
Standard
STARTER SIGNAL AND IGNITION SWITCH POSITION REFERENCE TABLEStarter Signal Ignition Switch Position OFF ON ON START
OK: Go to step 5
NG: Go to Next Step.
- INSPECT ECM (STAR AND STSW VOLTAGE)
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E5 and E6 ECM connectors, while cranking the engine.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION TABLETester Connection Specified Condition STAR/NSW (E5-8) - E1 (E6-1) 9 to 14 V STSW (E6-12) - E1 (E6-1) 9 to 14 V Result
RESULT REFERENCE TABLETerminal STAR Terminal STSW Proceed to 9 to 14 V 9 to 14 V A 0 V 9 to 14 V B 0 V 0 V C
B: REPLACE ECM
C: Go to step 9
A: Go to Next Step.
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E5 and E6 ECM connectors, while cranking the engine.
- INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the I18 ignition switch connector.
- Check the resistance.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION TABLEIgnition Switch Positions Tester Conditions Specified Condition LOCK All Terminals 10 kΩ or higher ACC 2-3 Below 1 Ω ON 2-3-4, 6-7 Below 1 Ω START 1-4-2, 6-7-8 Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the ignition switch connector.
NG: REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
OK: CHECK AND REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - ECM)
- INSPECT STARTER RELAY
- Remove the starter relay from the engine room R/B.
- Inspect the starter relay.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION TABLETester Connections Specified Conditions 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2) - Reinstall the starter relay.
NG: REPLACE STARTER RELAY
OK: Go to Next Step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - BODY GROUND)
- Check the harness and connector between the park/ neutral position switch and starter relay.
- Disconnect the P1 park/neutral position switch connector.
- Remove the starter relay from the engine room R/B.
- Measure the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION TABLETester Connections Specified Conditions Park/neutral position switch (P1-6) - Starter relay (1) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION TABLETester Connections Specified Conditions Park/neutral position switch (P1-6) or Starter relay (1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
- Reinstall the starter relay.
- Check the harness and connector between the starter relay, and body ground.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to Next Step.
- Check the harness and connector between the park/ neutral position switch and starter relay.
- INSPECT ENGINE ROOM RELAY BLOCK (STARTER RELAY VOLTAGE)
- Remove the starter relay from the engine room R/B.
- Measure the voltage between the terminal of the engine room R/B and body ground.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION TABLETester Connections Specified Conditions Starter relay (5) - Body ground 9 to 14 V - Reinstall the starter relay.
NG: CHECK AND REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STARTER RELAY - BATTERY)
OK: Go to Next Step.
- INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY
- Inspect the starter assembly (See INSPECTION for Standard , INSPECTION for Cold area ).
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE STARTER ASSEMBLY
OK: CHECK AND REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STARTER RELAY - STARTER, STARTER - BATTERY)
- CHECK FUSE (STA NO. 2)
- Remove the STA No. 2 fuse from the driver side J/B.
- Check for continuity in the STA No. 2 fuse.
Standard: Continuity
- Reinstall the STA No. 2 fuse.
NG: CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS CONNECTED NO. 2 STA FUSE AND REPLACE NO. 2 STA FUSE
OK: Go to Next Step.
- INSPECT IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the I18 ignition switch connector.
- Check for continuity between the terminals shown in the table below.
Standard
TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLESwitch Position Tester Connection Specified Condition LOCK All terminal to terminal No continuity ACC 2 - 3 Continuity ON 2 - 3 - 4, 6 - 7 Continuity START 1 - 2 - 4, 6 - 7 - 8 Continuity - Reconnect the ignition switch connector.
NG: REPLACE IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY
OK: CHECK AND REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - BATTERY)
