Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Inspection of BCM and Its Circuits

Voltage and Signal Check
Check voltage and/or pulse signal of BCM (1) using voltmeter (2) and oscilloscope (3).

NOTE:
- Check that battery voltage is 11 V or more.
- For "Ignition mode" described in the following table, it means power supply mode in keyless push start system.
For more details of ignition mode, refer to Description of Keyless Engine Start Function.
- The voltage of terminal with asterisk (*) cannot be measured by voltmeter because it is pulse signal. Check it with oscilloscope if necessary.
