Immobilizer-keyless Control Unit Input Test

NOTE: Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A )
  1. Remove the driver's dashboard undercover (see DRIVER'S POCKET REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ), then remove the dashboard lower cover (see DRIVER'S DASHBOARD LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION )
  2. Remove the steering column covers (see COLUMN COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION )
  3. Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the immobilizer-keyless control unit (B)

  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 5
  5. With the connector still disconnected, do these input tests at the following connector
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6
    PROBABLE SYMPTOM CHART

    Cavity Wire Terminal name Test condition Test Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    3 BLU B-CAN LO Disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector Check for continuity between the terminal and the gauge control module 32P connector No 23 terminal
    There should be continuity
    An open in the wire
    Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) Check for continuity between the terminal and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) No 5 terminal
    There should be continuity
    An open in the wire
    4 PNK B-CAN HI Disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector Check for continuity between the terminal and the gauge control module 32P connector No 24 terminal
    There should be continuity
    An open in the wire
    Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) Check for continuity between the terminal and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) No 6 terminal
    There should be continuity
    An open in the wire
    6 LT GRN IMOCD (S-NET) Ignition switch ON (II), disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P) (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ) Measure the voltage to ground
    There should be about 5 V
    • A short to ground in the wire
    • An open in the wire
    Disconnect the battery negative terminal Measure the resistance between the terminal and body ground
    There should be more than 50 kΩ
    • Faulty imoes unit
    • Faulty driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
    • An open in the wire
    Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P) (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ) Check for continuity between the terminal and ECM/PCM connector A (49P) terminal No 46
    There should be continuity
    An open in the wire
  6. Reconnect the connector to the immobilizer-keyless control unit, and do these input tests at the following connector
NOTE: After replacing the immobilizer-keyless control unit, do the immobilizer registration (see IMMOBILIZER KEY REGISTRATION )
