IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) 8G-5
With the diagnosis switch terminal of monitor coupler for
ECM / PCM not grounded, the ignition switch turned ON (but the en-
gine at stop) and regardless of the condition of the electronic fuel
injection system, ECM / PCM indicates whether a trouble has oc-
curred in the immobilizer control system or not by causing the mal-
function indicator lamp to flash or turn ON.
Malfunction indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Malfunction indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some
trouble in the immobilizer control system.
NOTE:
As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM / PCM and Im-
mobilizer Control Module diagnose if a trouble has occurred
in the immobilizer control system. While the diagnosis is being
made, the malfunction indicator lamp stays ON and if the diag-
nosis result is ªabnormalº, it immediately changes to flashing
but if the result is ªnormalº, it remains ON. Diagnosis takes
about 3 seconds at maximum.
With the ignition switch turned ON (but the engine at stop) regard-
less of the condition of the electronic fuel injection system,
ECM / PCM indicates whether a trouble has occurred in the immobi-
lizer control system or not by causing the immobilizer indicator lamp
to flash or turn ON.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some
trouble in the immobilizer control system.
NOTE:
As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM / PCM and Im-
mobilizer Control Module diagnose if a trouble has occurred
in the immobilizer control system. While the diagnosis is being
made, the Immobilizer indicator lamp stays ON and if the diag-
nosis result is ªabnormalº, it immediately changes to flashing
but if the result is ªnormalº, it remains ON. Diagnosis takes
about 3 seconds at maximum.
When ECM / PCM and Immobilizer Control Module detects a
trouble which has occurred in the above areas, it stores DTC corre-
sponding to the exact trouble area in ECM / PCM and Immobilizer
Control Module memory.
DTCs stored in memory of each controller (Immobilizer Control
Module and ECM / PCM) can be read by using the procedure de-
scribed in ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK (IMMOBILIZ-
ER CONTROL MODULE)º and ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
CHECK (ECM / PCM)º in this section.

INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wir-
ing. When a check for proper connection is requested in a diagnos-
tic flow table, perform careful check of suspect circuits for:
Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in
the connector body (backed out).
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean
and free of any foreign material which could impede proper termi-
nal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or the like is
prohibited.
Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture
and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation
with the component or mating connector.
Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace as a wire harness as-
sembly.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to en-
sure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating termi-
nal included in the connector test adapter kit (special tool).
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact ten-
sion or replace.
Special Tool (Connector Test Adapter Kit)
(A): 09932-76010
Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor connection
by shaking it by hand lightly.
If any abnormal condition is found, change the wire harness as-
sembly or component parts with new ones.
