10. Make sure the shift lever is in N or P (A/T model) orneutral (M/T model), then disconnect the engine
wire harness 1P connector (A). Connect a jumper
wire from the battery positive terminal to the
starter subharness 1P connector (B).
Go to step 11.
Check the starter subharness. If the wire is OK,
remove the starter (see page 4-10), then repair or
replace (see page 4-13) it as necessary. 11. Check the following items in the order listed until
you find the problem circuit:
NOTE: After the open circuit or high resistance in
the circuit is found and repaired, go to step 14.
Check for an open or short in the YEL wire and connectors between the driver’s under-dash
fuse/relay box and the ignition switch.
Check for an open or short in the RED wire and connectors between the under-dash fuse/relay
box and the engine wire harness 1P connector.
Check for an open or short in the ORN wire and connectors between the under-dash fuse/relay
box and the clutch interlock switch (M/T model).
Check for an open or short in the ORN wire, BLU/ WHT wire and connectors between the under-
dash fuse/relay box and the transmission range
switch (A/T model).
Check for poor ground at G401 (M/T model) or G101 (A/T model).
Check for a faulty ignition switch (see page 22-72).
Check for a faulty clutch interlock switch (M/T model) (see page 4-8).
Check for a faulty transmission range switch (A/T model) (see page 14-265).
Check for a faulty starter cut relay (see page 22-70).
