Immobilizer-keyless Control Unit Input Test

NOTE: Before troubleshooting the immobilizer system, troubleshoot the B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ) and check the No. 10 (7.5 A) and No. 38 (30 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  1. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see DRIVER'S DASHBOARD LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Remove the steering column covers (see COLUMN COVER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  3. Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the immobilizer-keyless control unit (B).

  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 5.
  5. With the connector still disconnected, make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.
      TEST CONDITION CHART

      Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained
      1 ORN Under all conditions Check for voltage between immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector No. 1 terminal and body ground:
      There should be battery voltage.
      • Blown No. 23 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
      • An open in the wire
      2 YEL Ignition switch ON (II) Check for voltage to ground:
      There should be battery voltage.
      • Blown No. 2 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
      • An open in the wire
  6. Reconnect the connector to the immobilizer-keyless control unit, and make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the immobilizer-keyless control unit must be faulty; replace it.
      TEST CONDITION CHART

      Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if result is not obtained

      There should be less than 0.5 V.
      • Poor ground(G101)
      • An open in the wire
      6 PNK Ignition key inserted into the ignition switch Check for voltage to ground:
      There should be less than 1 V.
