    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILIZER CODE ECU) - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the D62 ID code box (immobilizer code ECU) connector.
    2. Disconnect the A20*1 or A19*2 ECM connector.
      1. *1: for A25A-FKS
      2. *2: for T24A-FTS
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      FOR A25A-FKS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A20-25 (IMO) - D62-3 (EFII) Always Below 1 Ω
      A20-25 (IMO) or D62-3 (EFII) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A20-26 (IMI) - D62-4 (EFIO) Always Below 1 Ω
      A20-26 (IMI) or D62-4 (EFIO) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      FOR T24A-FTS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A19-37 (IMO) - D62-3 (EFII) Always Below 1 Ω
      A19-37 (IMO) or D62-3 (EFII) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A19-38 (IMI) - D62-4 (EFIO) Always Below 1 Ω
      A19-38 (IMI) or D62-4 (EFIO) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILIZER CODE ECU) (TERMINAL EFIO AND EFII) 
    1. Connect the A20*1 or A19*2 ECM connector.
      1. *1: for A25A-FKS
      2. *2: for T24A-FTS
    2. Connect the D62 ID code box (immobilizer code ECU) connector.
    3. Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
