PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE [SECURITY AND LOCKS]

Description

When the push button start is pressed, the ignition cannot be switched to ACC or ON (engine off).

Possible Causes

  • Fuse malfunction

  • Customer mis-operation or misunderstanding

  • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:

    • Start stop unit terminal 1H and push button start terminal C

    • Start stop unit terminal 2J and push button start terminal I

    • Start stop unit terminal 1AF and ground

    • Start stop unit terminal 2A and ground

    • Start stop unit terminal 2B and ground

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

    VERIFY REMOTE TRANSMITTER CONDITION

  • Verify that a metal object is not installed to the remote transmitter.

  • Is a metal object installed?

Yes

Remove the metal object from the remote transmitter, then go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

2

    VERIFY MALFUNCTION CAUSE

  • Ask the customer malfunction condition.

  • Did the customer operate the push button start with all the push button start system operation conditions met?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

System is normal.

(Explain the customer operation condition.)

3

    VERIFY ROOM 25 A FUSE AND INTERIOR 15 A FUSE CONDITIONS

  • Visually inspect the ROOM 25 A fuse and INTERIOR 15 A fuse for disconnection.

  • Is there any fuse disconnection?

Yes

Install the ROOM 25 A fuse and INTERIOR 15 A fuse, then go to Step 7.

No

Go to the next step.

4

    VERIFY STEERING LOCK CONDITION

  • Verify that the steering lock operates normally.

  • Does the steering lock operate normally?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to “steering lock function does not operate” malfunction diagnosis and perform the inspection.

(See STEERING LOCK FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE [SECURITY AND LOCKS].)

5

    INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS OPEN CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN START STOP UNIT AND PUSH BUTTON START

  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

  • Disconnect the Start stop unit and push button start connector.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (vehicle wiring harness).

    • Start stop unit terminal 1H and push button start terminal C

    • Start stop unit terminal 2J and push button start terminal I

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the following terminals.

    • Start stop unit terminal 1H and push button start terminal C

    • Start stop unit terminal 2J and push button start terminal I

      • If there is a common connector:

      • Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for an open circuit to determine the malfunctioning location.

      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.

        If there is no common connector:

      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

  • After replacement, go to Step 7.

6

    INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS OPEN CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN START STOP UNIT AND GROUND

  • Verify that the start stop unit connector is disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (vehicle wiring harness).

    • Start stop unit terminal 1AF and ground

    • Start stop unit terminal 2A and ground

    • Start stop unit terminal 2B and ground

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the following terminals.

    • Start stop unit terminal 1AF and ground

    • Start stop unit terminal 2A and ground

    • Start stop unit terminal 2B and ground

      • If there is a common connector:

      • Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for an open circuit to determine the malfunctioning location.

      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.

        If there is no common connector:

      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

  • After replacement, go to the next step.

7

    VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE WAS CORRECTED

  • Does the push button start button operate correctly?

Yes

Troubleshooting completed.

(Explain the contents of the servicing to the customer.)

No

If the malfunction has not been resolved, repeat the inspection from Step 1.
