Diagnosis Procedure

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM ".

1. CHECK KEY SWITCH 

   With CONSULT 

   Check key switch ("KEY SW") in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.

   Monitor item	Condition
   KEY SW	Insert mechanical key into ignition switch: ON
   	Remove mechanical key from ignition switch: OFF

   Without CONSULT 

   1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
   2. Disconnect Intelligent Key unit harness connector.
   3. Check voltage between Intelligent Key unit harness connector M70 terminal 7 and ground.

      Connector	Terminals		Condition	Voltage (V) (Approx.)
      	(+)	(-)
      M70	7	Ground	Insert mechanical key into ignition switch	Battery voltage
      			Remove mechanical key from ignition switch	0

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: Key switch is OK.

      NO: GO TO 2

2. CHECK KEY SWITCH POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
   1. Remove mechanical key from ignition switch.
   2. Disconnect key switch and ignition knob switch connector.
   3. Check voltage between key switch and ignition knob switch harness connector M12 terminal 3 and ground.

      3 - Ground: Battery voltage
