Diagnosis Procedure

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM - INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM/ENGINE START FUNCTION - ".

1. PERFORM INITIALIZATION

   Perform initialization with CONSULT-III. Re-register all mechanical keys.

   For initialization and registration of mechanical key. Refer to CONSULT-III Operation Manual.

   Can the system be initialized and can steering lock be released with re-registered mechanical key? 

   YES: Steering lock solenoid was unregistered.

   NO: GO TO  2

2. CHECK STEERING LOCK SOLENOID POWER SUPPLY-1
   1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
   2. Disconnect steering lock solenoid connector.
   3. Check voltage between steering lock solenoid harness connector and ground.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  3

      NO: Repair or replace harness.

3. CHECK STEERING LOCK SOLENOID GROUND CIRCUIT

   Check continuity between steering lock solenoid harness connector and ground.

   Is the inspection result normal? 

   YES: GO TO  4

   NO: Repair or replace harness.

4. CHECK STEERING LOCK SOLENOID COMMUNICATION CIRCUITS
   1. Disconnect Intelligent Key unit connector.
   2. Check continuity between steering lock solenoid connector (A) M15 terminals 2, 3 and Intelligent Key unit connector (B) M70 terminals 1, 32.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  6

      NO: Replace Intelligent Key unit. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

6. CHECK STEERING LOCK SOLENOID COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT
   1. Connect steering lock solenoid connector.
   2. Using an oscilloscope, check voltage between Intelligent Key unit connector and ground.
