Diagnostic Procedure

SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT: 13, DTC: B13D3:94/P1260:00 [START STOP UNIT] DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY DTCs WITH REMOTE TRANSMITTER IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS
  • Perform the following procedure 3 times with the remote transmitter inside the cabin with certainty.
  1. Switch the ignition off.
  2. Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
  3. Retrieve the immobilizer system DTCs using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [START STOP UNIT] .)
  4. Move the remote transmitter to a different location.
  • Is the security indicator light: 13, the same Pending DTC present?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 10.
2 PERFORM DTC INSPECTION AND VERIFY KEYLESS RECEIVER MALFUNCTION Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
(See DTC TABLE [START STOP UNIT] .)
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT PUSH BUTTON START CONNECTOR
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Disconnect the push button start connector.
  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
  • Is the connector normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 9.
4 INSPECT KEYLESS RECEIVER CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Disconnect the keyless receiver connector.
