INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
  1. Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
  2. If the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is replaced, register the key.
  3. When using the intelligent tester to troubleshoot with the power switch off:
    Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3, and turn the courtesy switch on and off at 1.5-second intervals until communication between the intelligent tester and vehicle begins.

1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

  1. Disconnect the H3 and H4 power management control ECU connectors.

  1. Measure the resistance and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    H3-6 (E1) - Body ground
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω

    Standard Voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    H3-1 (AM22) - Body ground
    		Power switch off
    		11 to 14 V
    H4-7 (AM21) - Body ground
    		Power switch off
    		11 to 14 V
