Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK STARTING SYSTEM 

    Turn ignition switch to START position.

    Does the engine turn over? Does the starter motor operate? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: Check starting system. (Refer to "WORK FLOW (HEATED STEERING WHEEL) ".)

  2. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection M95. Refer to Ground Inspection in "CIRCUIT INSPECTION ".

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 3.

      NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  3. CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR (PHASE) POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I 
    1. Disconnect camshaft position (CMP) sensor (PHASE) harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between CMP sensor (PHASE) harness connector and ground.
