System Check and Status Log

NOTE: The HDS can be used to:
  • Check the state of the immobilizer key registration and the S-NET line by doing a SYSTEM CHECK.
  • Check the number of times the immobilizer-keyless control unit did not permit the engine to run by checking the STATUS LOG (see STATUS LOG  ).
  1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC), then turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and follow the prompts to the SYSTEM SELECTION MENU.
    NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the vehicle, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
  2. At SYSTEM SELECTION MENU, enter IMMOBI, then select IMMOBILIZER SETUP.
  3. Do the SYSTEM CHECK. If there is a system check number, do the troubleshooting for the item indicated (see SYSTEM CHECK  ).
  4. Check the STATUS LOG using the HDS (see STATUS LOG  ). Troubleshoot the line with the highest counts first. If all the lines are 0 (zero), the problem may not be caused by the immobilizer system; check for ignition or fuel problems.
    NOTE: Once repaired, clear the status log by removing the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box or disconnecting the battery.
