3. Has a problem been found?

YES - Repair as necessary and go to "Verification Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NO - Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure.

CONTROL CIRCUIT INSPECTION

CHECK FOR OPEN IN HARNESS
1. IG KEY OFF
2. Connect SMARTRA connector and disconnect PCM connector
3. IG KEY ON & Engine "OFF"
4. Measure voltage between indicator terminal of PCM harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : Batt.

5. Is the measured voltage within specifications

YES - Go to "Component Inspection" procedure

NO - Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

COMPONENT INSPECTION

CHECK IMMOBILIZER LAMP
1. IG KEY OFF
2. Connect SMARTRA connector and disconnect PCM connector
3. Ground indicator terminal of PCM harness connector with wire.
4. IG KEY ON & Engine "OFF"

Specification : Immobilizer lamp "ON"

5. Is the Immobilizer lamp "ON"?

YES - Substitute with a known-good ECM and check for proper operation.

NOTE: ECM substituted for old one must be in "Virgin" or "Neutral" status and Pin code is required to Neutralize ECM and to Register transponder key

NO - Check that fuse has blown off and harness between ECM connector and Battery is in normal condition. And. check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode and then clear DTC.
2. Operate the vehicle and monitor the DTC on the scantool.
3. Are any DTCs present?
