  1. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Check for DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Smart Key > Trouble Codes 

      Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are not output A
      DTCs are output B

    Result: 

    GO TO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2023 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (IMMOBILIZER FUEL CUT) 
    1. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Immobilizer Fuel Cut Status Immobilizer fuel cut status OFF or ON OFF: Fuel cut OFF
      ON: Fuel cut ON
      -

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Immobilizer Fuel Cut Status

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      On the GTS screen, ON is displayed. A
      On the GTS screen, OFF is displayed. B

    Result: 

    GO TO SFI SYSTEM (HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING). Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK WHETHER ENGINE STARTS 
    1. Check that the engine starts after 5 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to ON.

      OK

      Engine starts normally.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILIZER CODE ECU) - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the H53 ID code box (immobilizer code ECU) connector.
    2. Disconnect the A83 ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A83-37 (IMO) - H53-3 (EFII) Always Below 1 Ω
      A83-37 (IMO) or H53-3 (EFII) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A83-38 (IMI) - H53-4 (EFIO) Always Below 1 Ω
      A83-38 (IMI) or H53-4 (EFIO) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILIZER CODE ECU) (TERMINAL EFIO AND EFII) 
    1. Connect the A83 ECM connector.
    2. Connect the H53 ID code box (immobilizer code ECU) connector.
    3. Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

      Tester Connection Condition Tool Setting Specified Condition
      H53-3 (EFII) - Body ground Within 3 seconds of engine start or within 3 seconds of ignition switch turned to ON after auxiliary battery cable disconnected and reconnected 2 V/DIV., 500 ms./DIV. Pulse generation
      (See waveform 2)
      H53-4 (EFIO) - Body ground Within 3 seconds of engine start or within 3 seconds of ignition switch turned to ON after auxiliary battery cable disconnected and reconnected 2 V/DIV., 500 ms./DIV. Pulse generation
      (See waveform 1 and 3)

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Normal waveform A
      Waveform 1 is not output, or has abnormal wavelength or shape B
      Waveform 2 or is not output, or has abnormal wavelength or shape C

    Result:
