Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION

    Press push-button ignition switch and check if it turns ON.

    Does ignition switch turn ON?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 2  .

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 4  .

  2. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT SIGNAL (IPDM E/R)

    1. Disconnect push-button ignition switch connector and BCM connector.
    2. Check voltage between IPDM E/R harness connector and ground.
      (+) (-) Voltage (V)
      (Approx.)
      IPDM E/R
      Connector Terminal
      E5 28 Ground Battery voltage

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 3  .

    NO 

    Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

  3. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT (IPDM E/R)

    1. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector.
    2. Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and push-button ignition switch harness connector.

    GO TO STEP 6  .

    NO 

    Repair or replace harness.

  4. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT SIGNAL (BCM)

    1. Disconnect push-button ignition switch connector and IPDM E/R connector.
    2. Check voltage between BCM harness connector and ground.
      (+) (-) Voltage (V)
      (Approx.)
      BCM

      M121 60 Ground Battery voltage

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 5  .

    NO 

    Replace BCM. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

  5. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT (BCM)

    1. Disconnect BCM connector.
    2. Check continuity between BCM harness connector and push-button ignition switch harness connector.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 6  .

    NO 

    Repair or replace harness.

  6. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH

    Refer to INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 7  .

    NO 

    Replace push-button ignition switch. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

  7. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT

    Check continuity between push-button ignition switch and ground.
