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 a Techstream. Freeze frame data record 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 a Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   3. Turn the tester ON.
   4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Starter Signal.
   5. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

      START	ON

   OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (See  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS   ) 

   NG: Go to Next Step 

2. INSPECT PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH (A/T) OR CLUTCH START SWITCH (M/T) 
   1. Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (for A/T models).

      1. Disconnect the C27 PNP switch connector.
      2. Check the resistance when the transmission gear selector lever is moved to each position.

         Standard resistance

      3. Reconnect the clutch start switch connector.

   OK:  Go to step  5

   NG: Go to Next Step 

3. REPLACE PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH (A/T) OR CLUTCH START SWITCH (M/T) 
   1. Replace the PNP switch (for A/T models) (See REMOVAL ).
   2. Replace the clutch start switch (for M/T models) (See REMOVAL ).
4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL) 
   1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   3. Turn the tester ON.
   4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Starter Signal.
   5. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.
