NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
5.CHECK OPERATION OF TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER
a. After replacing the transponder key amplifier with a normally functioning amplifier, check that the
engine starts.
OK: Engine starts.
NG: REPLACE STEERING LOCK ECU
OK: END
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when: 1) the ECM detects errors in its own communications with the steering lock ECU; 2)
the ECM detects errors in the communication lines; and 3) the ECU communication ID between the steering
lock ECU and the ECM are different and an engine start is attempted.
Before troubleshooting for this DTC, make sure no steering lock ECU DTCs are present. If the steering lock
ECU has a key code related DTC, repair it first.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (STEERING LOCK ECU - ECM)
a. Disconnect the S46 ECU connector.
b. Disconnect the E2 ECM connector
c. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard:
STEERING LOCK ECU - ECM - RESISTANCE TABLE
Tester connectionSpecified condition
S46-13 (EFIO) - E2-6 (IMI)Below 1 ohms
S46-4 (EFII) - E2-7 (IMO)Below 1 ohms
S46-13 (EFIO) or E2-6 (IMI) - Body ground10 kohms or higher
S46-4 (EFII) or E2-7 (IMO) - Body ground10 kohms or higher

receives the faint electric wave. Upon receiving the faint electric wave, the transponder chip outputs a key
ID code signal. The transponder key coil receives this signal, the transponder key amplifier amplifies it,
and then the signal is transmitted to the ECU.
The ECU matches the key's ID code with the vehicle's ID code, which was previously registered in the
ECU, and then communicates the results to the ECM using SFI communication.
After the identification results show that the key's ID code matches the vehicle's ID code and the ECU has
confirmed their match: 1) the immobilizer system does not immobilize the engine and the engine starting
controls (fuel injection control and ignition control) enter standby mode; and 2) the ECU transmits a
security indicator signal that communicates "indicator off" to the theft warning ECU (theft deterrent
ECU). Then, the theft warning ECU turns off the security indicator lamp.

4, 5 and 7.
1.VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP
2.CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK AND SYMPTOM CHECK (See CUSTOMER
PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK )
3.CRANK ENGINE FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS
4.CHECK FOR DTCS
a. Check for DTCs and note any codes that are output.
b. Delete the DTC.
c. Recheck for DTCs. Based on the DTC output in (a), try to force output of the same SFI system
DTC or engine immobilizer system DTC by simulating the operation indicated by the DTC.
1. If the DTC does not reoccur, proceed to A.
2. If the SFI system DTC reoccurs, proceed to B.
3. If the engine immobilizer system DTC reoccurs, proceed to C.
B: Go to SFI SYSTEM (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
)
C: Go to step 8
A: Go to next step
5.READ DATA LIST USING HAND-HELD TESTER
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the Controller Area Network Vehicle Interface Module (CAN
VIM). Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
c. Read the DATA LIST.

a. Register the ECU Communication ID
1. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3. SST 09843-18040

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (do not start the engine) and leave it as is for 30 minutes.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect terminals TC and CG.
4. Check that the engine starts.
