All Remote Controls Inoperative

  1. Check SECU Power Supply Circuit

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect Smart Entrance Control Unit (SECU) harness connector. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 1 (White/Red wire) at SECU harness connector. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, check fusible link "F" (30-amp), located in fuse and fusible link box. Check circuit breaker. Check for open or short in wiring harness between fuse and SECU. Repair as necessary.
  2. Check SECU Ground Circuit

    Using DVOM, check for continuity between ground and terminal No. 10 (Black wire) at SECU harness connector. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, check ground harness. Repair as necessary.
  3. Check Door Switch Circuit

    Reconnect SECU harness connector. Using DVOM, measure voltage (backprobe) between ground and specified terminals at SECU harness connector. See DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT TEST  table. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check door switch. See DOOR SWITCH  under COMPONENT TESTS. Check door switch ground condition. Check for open or short in wiring harness between door switch and SECU. Repair as necessary.
    DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT TEST(1)

    Application (Terminal No.) Door Switch Condition Specification
    Driver's Door (15) Open Zero Volts
    " Closed Battery Voltage
    Passenger's Door (35) Open Zero Volts
    " Closed Battery Voltage
    (1) For terminal identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  4. Check Unlock Sensor Circuit

    Using DVOM, measure voltage (backprobe) between ground and specified terminals at SECU harness connector. See UNLOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST  table. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check door unlock sensor. See DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR  under COMPONENT TESTS. Check door unlock sensor ground circuit. Check for open or short in wiring harness between door unlock sensor and SECU. Repair as necessary.
    UNLOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST (1)

    Application (Terminal No.) Unlock Sensor Condition Specification
    Driver's Door (12) Unlock Zero Volts
    " Lock Battery Voltage
    Passenger's Door (13) Unlock Zero Volts
    " Lock Battery Voltage
    (1) For terminal identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  5. Check Ignition Switch ACC Or ON Circuit

    Disconnect SECU harness connector. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 17 (Green wire) at SECU harness connector. DVOM should indicate battery voltage with ignition switch in ACC or ON positions. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check fuse No. 20 (7.5-amp), located in fuse block. Check for open or short in wiring harness between SECU and fuse. Repair as necessary.
  6. Check Ignition Switch ON Or START Circuit

    Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 11 (Green/White wire) at SECU harness connector. DVOM should indicate battery voltage with ignition switch in ON or START positions. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check fuse No. 5 (7.5-amp), located in fuse block. Check for open or short in wiring harness between SECU and fuse. Repair as necessary.
  7. Check Key Switch Input Signal

    Turn ignition off. Reconnect SECU harness connector. Using DVOM, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 24 (White/Green wire) at SECU harness connector. DVOM should indicate battery voltage with key inserted in ignition switch, and zero volts with key removed. If voltage is as specified, check operation of mechanical parts in door lock system. If voltage is not as specified, check fuse No. 28 (7.5-amp), located in fuse block. Check key switch. See KEY SWITCH  under COMPONENT TESTS. Check for open or short in wiring harness between key switch and fuse, or between key switch and SECU. Repair as necessary.
