Start / Stop Switch: Testing and Inspection




Engine Start/Stop Switch Test/Replacement

1. Remove the driver's center trim Dashboard Center Trim Removal / Installation.

2. Disconnect the 10P connector (A) from the engine start/stop switch (B).





3. Remove the two screws, and the engine start/stop switch.

4. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.

NOTE:

- Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal.
- When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting () on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
- Be careful of this characteristic; a diode is one that conducts fully in one direction (forward) and not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).





5. Install the switch in the reverse order of removal.
