FOREWORD [START STOP UNIT]

  • If there is any vehicle malfunction complaint lodged by a customer, perform malfunction diagnosis according to the troubleshooting procedure. (See Troubleshooting Procedure.)

NOTE:

  • If any of the following items are touching or near the remote transmitter, signal communication between the remote transmitter and the vehicle is negatively affected, resulting in the engine not starting.

    • Spare keys

    • Keys for other vehicles equipped with an immobilizer system

    • Any metallic object

    • Any electronic device, or any credit or other card with magnetic strips

    • Radio wave outputting device nearby

Troubleshooting Procedure

*1
(See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW.)
*2
(See DTC Inspection Note.)

Action for Non-repeatable Malfunction

  • If the malfunction does not recur, verify the malfunction cause by performing the following actions:

    • Verify that a DTC has been recorded in the memory. (See DTC INSPECTION [START STOP UNIT].)

    • Based on the repair order form, attempt to drive the vehicle or perform tests to replicate the malfunction, record the data at that time, and detect the malfunction cause.

    • Shake the wiring harness or connector of the electrical component which is suspected to be the cause of the malfunction, and inspect for malfunction or occurrence of any DTCs.

    • Inspect the female terminals on the connector of the electric component which is suspected to be the cause of the malfunction for poor connection.

DTC Inspection Note

  • When there is a malfunction in the immobilizer system, DTCs are recorded in the start stop unit and PCM.

  • The DTCs stored in the start stop unit can be verified using the flashing pattern of the security indicator light and M-MDS.

  • If immobilizer system related DTCs are not recorded even if the engine cannot be started, perform symptom troubleshooting. (See NO.3 WILL NOT CRANK [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)
