• Between keyless control module terminal 4C and instrument cluster terminal 2S

Without advanced keyless entry system

• Between coil terminal A and instrument cluster terminal 2S

• Between coil terminal B and instrument cluster terminal 2Q

Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace suspected wiring harness and connector.

No

Go to the next step.

8

Inspect for the following wiring harnesses and connectors:

• Between PCM terminal 1AM and instrument cluster terminal 1J

• Between PCM terminal 1AI and instrument cluster terminal 1L

Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair or replace suspected wiring harness and connector.

No

Go to the next step.

9

Is clicking sound heard from starter relay when the ignition switch is turned to STRT?

Yes

Go to Step 14.

No

ATX: Go to the next step.

MTX: Go to STEP 11.

10

Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.

Turn ignition switch to the ON position. (Engine off)

Access TR PID.

Is TR POD indicated P/N when selecting P or N position

Yes

Go to Step12.

No

Inspect TR switch is adjusted properly, inspect for open or short circuit between TR switch and TCM.

Repair or replace components as required.

Then repeat step 9.

11

INSPECT STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH

Inspect the starter interlock switch

Is starter interlock switch normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Inspect starter interlock switch and related wiring harnesses.

Repair or replace components as required.

Then repeat step 9.

12

Inspect the starter relay and following harnesses.

Between starter relay and PCM

Between starter relay and ignition switch

(See RELAY INSPECTION.)

Are they normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace components as required.

Then repeat step 9.

13

Inspect IGNTION switch and related harnesses.

(See IGNITION SWITCH INSPECTION.)

Are they normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace components as required.

Then repeat step 9.

14

Inspect the following harnesses.
