  1. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
    3. On the tester, select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
    4. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

      OK 

      TESTER VALUES

      Ignition Switch Positions ON START
      STARTER SIG OFF ON

    OK: REPLACE ECM 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OR CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH 
    1. Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch. (For A/T models)
