DIAGNOSIS


STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.



(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Check the following items of the data list. Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 79: Cranking signal.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the sensor operating properly?

Go to Step 2.

Repair harness wire between ETACS-ECU connector C-304 (terminal No. 15) and ECM connector B-109 (terminal No. 105) because of open circuit. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-132 at clutch interlock switch and harness connector B-109 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the connector in good condition?

Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 3. Check the clutch interlock switch.


Refer to GROUP 21A, Clutch Pedal Check and Master Cylinder - Inspection .

Q. Are there any abnormalities?

Repair or replace it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit or short circuit to ground or harness damage between clutch interlock switch connector B-132 and ECM connector B-109.


(1)Disconnect the connector B-132 and B-109 measure at the harness side.

(2)Measure the resistance between connector B-132 (terminal No. 1) and connector B-109 (terminal No. 106).

  • Should be less than 2 Ω.

(3)Check for the continuity between connector B-109 (terminal No. 106) and ground.

  • Not continuity.

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Then go to Step 5.

Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 5. Check harness connector A-24X at starter relay.


Q. Is the connector in good condition?

Then go to Step 6.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 6. Check for open circuit or short circuit to ground or harness damage between clutch interlock switch connector C-132 and starter relay connector A-24X.



(1)Disconnect the connector C-132 and A-24X measure at the harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between connector C-132 (terminal No. 2) and connector A-24X (terminal No. 2).

  • Should be less than 2 Ω.

(3)Check for the continuity between connector C-132 (terminal No. 2) and ground.

  • Not continuity.

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Then go to Step 7.

Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 7. Check for open circuit or harness damage between starter relay connector A-24X and ground.



(1)Disconnect the connector A-24X and ground at the harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between connector A-24X (terminal No. 1) and ground.

  • Should be less than 2 Ω.

Q. Is the measured resistance less than 2 Ω?

Then go to Step 8.

Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 8. Measure the power supply voltage at starter relay connector A-24X.


(1)Disconnect the connector A-24X measure at the harness side.

(2)Measure the voltage between terminal No. 4 and ground.

  • Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

Q. Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present?

Go to Step 9.

Repair harness wire between starter relay connector A-24X (terminal No. 4) and fusible link (24) because of open circuit. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 9. Check for open circuit or short circuit to ground or harness damage between starter relay connector A-24X and starter motor connector B-12.


(1)Disconnect the connector A-24X and B-12 measure at the harness side.

(2)Measure the resistance between connector A-24X (terminal No. 3) and connector B-12 (terminal No. 1).

  • Should be less than 2 Ω.

(3)Check for the continuity between connector A-24X (terminal No. 3) and ground.

  • Not continuity.

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Replace the starter motor. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
