  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP)/Central Security Module (CSM) 26-pin harness connector C256. RAP/CSM is located behind driver's side of instrument panel, left of steering column. Inspect harness connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. If harness connector is okay, go to next step. If harness connector is damaged, repair as necessary.
  2. Measure resistance in Light Blue/White wire between RAP/CSM harness connector C256 terminal No. 3 and Data Link Connector (DLC) terminal No. 7. See Figure and Fig 1 . If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace RAP/CSM.
  3. Disconnect 16-pin in-line harness connector C247. Connector C247 is located behind left side of instrument panel. See Fig 2. Inspect harness connector C247 for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. If harness connector is okay, go to next step. If harness connector is damaged, repair as necessary.
  4. Measure resistance in Light Blue/White wire between harness connector C247 (male side) terminal No. 16 and DLC terminal No. 7. See Figure and Fig 3 . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, repair open in Light Blue/White wire between male half of harness connector C247 and RAP/CSM. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Light Blue/White wire between female half of harness connector C247 and DLC. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
