Inspection Procedure

HINT:

• The following troubleshooting flowchart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine will not crank, proceed to the PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  .
• Read freeze frame data using Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
   3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
   4. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

      OK

   3. Reconnect the PNP switch connector.

   OK:  Go to step  5

   NG: Go to Next Step 

3. REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
   3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
   4. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

      OK

   3. Reconnect the ignition switch connector.

   OK:  Go to step  7

   NG: Go to Next Step 

6. REPLACE IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
7. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
   3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
   4. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

8. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (PNP SWITCH - STA TERMINAL OF ECM) 
9. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
   3. Turn the tester ON.
   4. Clear DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
   5. Drive the vehicle at more than 20 km/h (12.43 mph) for over 20 seconds.
   6. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Code.
   7. Read DTCs.
