Check the fuse for the ignition switch in the engine compartment fusebox.

If the fuse is blown, check the circuit after the fuse before replacing the fuse. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Disconnect connector A on the central electronic module (CEM). Connect the breakout box.

Insert the key in the ignition switch.

Measure the voltage between #A15 (#15) and ground.

The voltage must be 12 V.

Check the cable between terminals #3 and #6 on the start control module (SCU). Check for an open-circuit.

Check the signal cable between central electronic module (CEM) terminal #B17 (#17) and start control module (SCU) terminal #2. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.

Check the cable between start control module (SCU) terminal #A1 and ground. Check for an open-circuit. Also check the ground terminal for oxidation.

Remedy the cables as necessary.
