Inspection Procedure

HINT:

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List/All Data/Starter Signal.
    4. Check the value displayed on the Techstream when the ignition switch is turned to ON and START.

      OK 

      IGNITION SWITCH POSITION

      Ignition Switch Position Starter Signal
      ON OFF
      START ON

      NG: Go to step 2 

      OK: REPLACE ECM  (See ECM  )

  2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OR CLUTCH START SWITCH 
    1. Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (For Automatic Transmission models).
      1. Disconnect the PNP switch connector.
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance 

        STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        2 - 6, 4 - 5 Gear selector lever position P Below 1 Ω
        1 - 2 Gear selector lever position R
        2 - 9, 4 - 5 Gear selector lever position N
        2 - 7 Gear selector lever position D
        2 - 3 Gear selector lever position 2
        2 - 8 Gear selector lever position L
      3. Reconnect the PNP switch connector.

        Tester Connection Switch Position Specified Condition
        1 - 2 ON (pushed) Below 1 Ω
        1 - 2 OFF (free) 10 kΩ or higher
      3. Reconnect the clutch start switch connector.

        NG: REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY (THEN CHECK CRANKING HOLDING FUNCTION CIRCUIT)  (See PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH )
