    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector B (36P)
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P)

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector B (36P): disconnected
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector B (36P) No. 34 - Refer to:
    Keyless Access System (Keyless Access Control Unit, Electric Steering Lock, and TPMS Control Unit) Input Test (2016), or
    Keyless Access System (Keyless Access Control Unit, Electric Steering Lock, and TPMS Control Unit) Input Test (2017 2018 2019 2020),
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 SAFETY wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

  4. Open wire check (SGND lines)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector B (36P): disconnected
    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector A (32P) No. 17 - Refer to:
    Keyless Access System (Keyless Access Control Unit, Electric Steering Lock, and TPMS Control Unit) Input Test (2016), or
