STEP 8. Check the key reminder switch (ignition key hole
illumination).
(1) Disconnect key reminder switch connector C-310.
(2) Remove the ignition key hole illumination lamp bulb. Then
measure the resistance value between the bulb terminals.
(3) Install a bulb to the key remainder switch, and measure the
resistance between connector C-310 terminals 1 and 2. The
measured resistance value should be roughly the same as
the value measured in Step (2).
Q: Are these two resistance values extremely different?
YES : Replace the key reminder switch. Verify that the
ignition key hole illumination lamp illuminates
normally.
NO : Go to Step 9.
STEP 9. Check the battery power supply circuit to the key
reminder switch circuit. Measure the voltage at key
reminder switch connector C-310.
(1) Disconnect key reminder switch connector C-310, and
measure the voltage available at the wiring harness side of
the connector.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Go to Step 10.

STEP 11. Check the wiring harness between key reminder
switch connector C-310 (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU
connector C-218 (terminal 63).
Q: Is the wiring harness between key reminder switch
connector C-310 (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-218 (terminal 63) in good condition?

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that
the ignition key hole illumination lamp illuminates
normally.
