Starter Circuit Troubleshooting
NOTE:. Airtemperature must be between 59'and 100'F (15'
and 38'C) during this procedure.
. After this test, or any subsequent repair, reset the
engine controle module (ECM) to clear any diagnostlc
trouble codes (DTCS) {see page 11-4).. The battery must be in good condition and fully
charged.. lf you disconnect the baftery, do the ECM idle learn
procedure (see page 11-139).
Recommended Procedure:. Use a starter system tester.. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manuf acturer's instructions.
Alternate Procedure
1. Hook up the following equipment:. Ammeter, 0 400 A. Voltmeter, 0 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt). Tachometer,0 1200 rpm
2.Remove the No. 17 (15A) fuse from the under-dash
fuse/relay box.
With the clutch pedal pressed, turn the ignition
switch to start (lll).
Did the starter crank the engine normally?
YES-The starting system is OK.I
NO-Go to step 4.
3.
L
4-5
4. Check the battery condition. Check electrical
connections at the battery, the negative baftery
cable to body, the engine ground cables and the
starter for looseness and corrosion. Then try
starting the engine again.
Did the statter crank the engine?
YES Repairing the loose connection fixed the
problem. The starting system is now OK.!
NO lf starterwill notcranktheengine atall, goto
step 5. lf it cranks the engine erratically or too
slowly, go to step 7. lf it won't disengage from the
flywheel ring gear when you release the key, check
for the following until you find the cause.
. Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction. Dirty drive gear or damaged overrunning clutch
5. Make sure the transmission is in neutral, then
disconnect the starter subharness 1P connector (A)
from the engine wire harness 'lP connector (B).
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive
terminal to the starter subharness 'l P connector.
Did the starter crank the engine?
YES-Go to step 6.
NO Check the BLK,ANHT wire between the starter
subharness 1P connector and the starter. lf wire is
OK, remove the starter, and repair or replace as
necessary.

Troubleshooting
Before troubleshooting the immobilizer system,
troubleshoot any EClvl Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS)
(see page 11-3), and make sure the ECM has no
malfunction.
Note these items before trou bleshooting:
. Due to the action of the immobilizer system, the
engine takes slightly more time to start than on a
vehicle without an immobilizer system.. When the system is normal, and the proper key is
inserted, the indicator light comes on for 2 seconds,
then it will go off.. If the indicatorstartsto blink after 2 seconds, or if the
engine does not start. remove any other immobilizer
keys or large key fobs on the key ring, then repeat the
starting procedure.
lf the engine still does not start, continue with thisprocedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll) with proper key.
2. Check to see if the immobilizer indicator light
comes on.
Does the indicator light blink?
YES Disconnect the 7P connector from the
immobilizer control unit-receiver, then go to step 9.
NO Check for these problems, then go to step 3.

ISystem Descriptions
The Multiplex Control System has four internal
functions:. Multiplexing (send multiple signals over sharedwtres). Wake up/sleep (runs at full power only on demand toreduce battery draw). Fail-safe (fixes or ignores faulty signals). Self-diagnosis (Mode 1 for the system, Mode 2 for
input lines)
The system controls the function of these circuits:. Entry lightcontrol (ignition key lightandceiting light). Wiper/washer intermittent wipe and park functions. Keyless/power door lock. Meter assembly, temperature gauge, and indicator
lights. HVAC (compressor and fan control). Key-in reminder. Headlight reminder. Seatbelt reminder

Multiplex Communication
To reduce the number of wire harnesses, digital signals
are sent via shared multiplex communication linesrather than sending normal electrical signals throughindividual wires.. The input signals from each switch are converted todigital signals at the central processing unit (CpU).. The digital signalsaresentfromthetransmitting unitto the receiving unit as serial signals.. The transmitted signal is converted to a switch signalat the receiving unit, and it operates the related
component or monitors a swltch.. There are exclusive communicalion lines between
the ECM, the gauge assembly, and the under,dash
fuse/relay box.
Wake-up and Sleep
The multiplex control system has "wake-up" and"sleep" functions to decrease parasitic draw on the
battery when the ignition switch is OFF.. ln the sleep mode, the multiplex control unit stops
functioning (communication and CPU control) when it
is not necessary for the system to operate.. As soon as any operation is requested (for example, adoor is unlocked), the related control unit in the sleep
mode immediately wakes up and begins to function.. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, and the
driver's or front passenger's door is opened, then
closed, there is about a 10 second delay before the
control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the sleepmode.. lf any door is open, the sleep mode will not function.. lf a key is in the ignition switch, the sleep mode will
not function.. When in sleep mode, the draw is reduced from
70 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
Fail-safe
To prevent improper operation, the multiplex controlsystem has a fail-safe function. In the fail-safe mode,
the output signal js fixed when any part of the systemmalfunctions (for example a faulty control unit orcommunication line).
Each control unit has a hardware fail-safe function thatfixes the output signal when there is any CPUmalfunction, and a software fail-safe function thatignores the signal from the malfunctioning control unitand allows the system to operate normally.
