Connect a test light between ground and theft deterrent relay harness connector terminal C1 (Orange wire). If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step  11.
  4. Connect a test light between theft deterrent relay harness connector terminals A1 (Black/White wire) and C1 (Orange wire). Press LOCK button on remote transmitter. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step  12.
  5. Connect a test light between ground and theft deterrent relay harness connector terminal C2 (Orange wire). If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step  9.
  6. Connect a test light between ground and theft deterrent relay harness connector terminal C2 (Orange wire). Turn parking lights on. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step  10.
  7. Test Brown wire for a poor connection between ground and theft deterrent relay harness connector terminal A2. If a poor connection is not found, go to next step. If a poor connection is found, repair as necessary then go to step  16.
