Before troubleshooting the Immobiliser system, troubleshoot any ECM/PCM with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) (see page 11-3) and make sure the ECM/PCM has no malfunction.
Note these items before troubleshooting:
- Due to the action of the Immobiliser system, the engine takes slightly more time to start than on a vehicle without an Immobiliser system.
- When the system is normal and the proper key is inserted, the indicator light comes on for 2 seconds, then it will go off.
- If the indicator starts to blink after 2 seconds, or if the engine does not start, repeat the starting procedure.
- If the engine still does not start, continue with this procedure.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II) with proper key.
- Check to see if the Immobiliser indicator light comes on.
Does the indicator light blink?
YES – Go to step 3.
NO – Check for these problems.
- Blown No. 9 (10A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- An open in the wire between the gauge assembly and the Immobiliser control unit-receiver.
- A faulty immobiliser indicator light.
- An open in the wire between the gauge assembly and the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Remove the dashboard lower cover.
- Remove the steering column lower covers (see page 17-9).
