	Make sure the vehicle 12 volt battery is fully charged.

Symptom Troubleshooting Using the Security Indicator Lighting Pattern

The immobilizer and keyless access system condition can be checked by the security indicator lighting pattern.

Normal operation:

When turning the vehicle to the ON mode and the immobilizer code is identified, the security indicator is OFF.

Immobilizer code is not identified:

When turning the vehicle to the ON mode when the immobilizer code has not been identified, the security indicator blink until the OFF (LOCK) mode is selected. Then security indicator will come on for 1 second. The state of the keyless registration and the S-NET line can be checked by doing a SYSTEM CHECK and STATUS LOG with the HDS.

Security indicator turns on:

If the security indicator turns on, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function procedures. If the indicator drive circuit is OK, do the SYSTEM CHECK and STATUS LOG procedures with the HDS.

System Check and Status Log

NOTE: The HDS can be used to:

	Check the state of the keyless remote registration and the S-NET line by doing a SYSTEM CHECK.
	Check the number of times the keyless access control unit or the backup control unit did not permit the engine to start by checking the STATUS LOG.

1.	Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC).

2.	At SYSTEM SELECTION MENU, enter ONE-PUSH START, then select KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT or BACKUP CONTROL UNIT.

3.	At KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT, enter KEYLESS ACCESS SYSTEM INFORMATION, then select SYSTEM CHECK 1 or SYSTEM CHECK 2.

4.	At BACKUP CONTROL UNIT, enter SYSTEM INFORMATION, then select SYSTEM CHECK.

5.	Do the SYSTEM CHECK. If there is a system check number, do the troubleshooting for the item indicated.

Check the STATUS LOG using the HDS. Troubleshoot the line with the highest counts first. If all the lines are 0 (zero), the problem may not be caused by the immobilizer system or keyless access system, check for ignition or fuel problems.

NOTE: Once repaired, clear the status log by removing the BACK UP fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box or disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
