Inspection Procedure

      To activate the starter:

      1. Turn the engine switch from off to on (ACC).
      2. Press and hold the engine switch for 15 seconds.

        HINT: 

        After the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), steering lock ECU, and/or ECM are/is replaced, perform the registration procedure for the engine immobiliser system. Refer to REGISTRATION .
