STEP 1. Check the battery cables.
Remove the negative cable, then the positive cable.
Check for dirty or corroded connections.
Q: Are the battery cables dirty or have corroded
connections?
YES :
Clean the battery cables. Then go to Step 2.
NO : Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the battery post.
Check for loose battery post.
Q: Are the battery post faulty?
YES :
Replace the battery. Then go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check the battery case and cover.
(1) Remove the hold-downs and shields.
(2) Check for broken/cracked case or cover.
Q: Is the battery case or cover faulty?
YES :
Replace the battery. Then go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the open circuit voltage.
(1) Turn headlamps on for 15 seconds.
(2) Turn headlamps off for two minutes to allow
battery positive voltage to stabilize.
(3) Disconnect the battery cables.
(4) Read open circuit voltage.
Q: Is open circuit voltage 12.4 volts or more?
YES :
Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Charge battery.
Q: Charging the battery?
YES :
Go to Step 6.
NO : Charge the battery at 5 amps for 15 hours.
Then re-test, go to Step 4.
STEP 6. Check the load test.
(1) Connect a load tester to the battery.
(2) Load the battery at the recommended discharge
rate (See LOAD TEST RATE CHART) for 15
seconds.
(3) Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove
load.
(4) Compare the measured value with the minimum
voltage. (See LOAD TEST CHART.)
Q: Is the voltage higher than minimum voltage?
NO :
Replace the battery. Then go to Step 4.
YES : The battery is normal.

IGNITION SWITCH
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-6
IGNITION SWITCH
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1543009901274
IGNITION KEY REMINDER BUZZER
The ignition key reminder buzzer will sound under
the following condition, and warn the driver to
remove the ignition key.
•The driver's door is opened when the ignition
switch is at "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" position
without removing the ignition key.
However, the lamp reminder buzzer will take
precedence over this function.
DOOR LOCK PREVENTION FUNCTION
If the key is left in the ignition switch while the driver’s
door opened or the assistant door opened, all door
are automatically unlock to prevent locking the
ignition key in the vehicle after door is locked.
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The immobilizer system consists of the ignition key
with a transponder, the immobilizer-ECU, and the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU . Only
the registered ignition key permits the engine to start,
therefore, the engine can never be started by means
of a forged key or by connecting the ignition wiring
directly. The system is significantly safe and reliable
against theft. In addition, the driver has only to turn
the ignition switch to the "ON" position to activate the
immobilizer system. If the requirements for starting the engine are not satisfied, the engine will be
immobilized. If a registered ignition key is lost, all
your ignition keys need to be registered again using
MUT-II/III to ensure security (Refer to P.54A-20). An
additional ignition key can be registered as follows
(only if no ignition keys are lost):
•Using MUT-II/III (Refer to P.54A-20).
OPERATION
1. When the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
position, the engine-ECU or
engine-A/T-ECU sends a requirement for
the encrypted code to the immobilizer-ECU (at
this time, the engine is remobilized).
2. When the immobilizer-ECU receives the
requirement from the engine-ECU or
engine-A/T-ECU , the immobilizer-ECU
supplies power to the transponder inside the
ignition key via the antenna. The energized
transponder sends the encrypted code back to the
immobilizer-ECU via the antenna.
3. The immobilizer-ECU judges the encrypted code
with its code logic in itself. If they are identical, the
immobilizer-ECU sends the encrypted code to the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU.
4. If the engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU can
not receive the encrypted code, the engine will be
immobilized.

COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-49
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the fuel gauge circuit.
(1) Disconnect D-13 fuel gauge unit connector.
(2) Connect a test lamp (12 V − 3.4 W) via test
harness (MB991219) between the wiring harness
connector terminals 1 and 2.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
Q: Does the test lamp illuminate?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : . Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Connector check: Combination meter
connector C-06, fuel gauge unit connector D-13
Q: Is combination meter connector C-04, fuel gauge
unit connector D-13 in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged
component(s).
STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-06 (terminal 51)
and fuel gauge unit connector D-13 (terminal 1).
