Ignition Switch Continuity Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Camry. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Measure resistance between ignition switch connector terminals. See Fig 1. Ensure resistance is within specification. See IGNITION SWITCH RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If switch resistance does not meet specifications, replace switch assembly.
