Description

Transmits a key switch signal to the BCM.

Component Function Check

1. CHECK BCM INPUT SIGNAL

Select "DATA MONITOR" for "BCM" and check the "KEY ON SW" monitor value.

KEY ON SW

When key is inserted into key cylinder : ON

When key is removed from key cylinder : OFF

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> Inspection End.

NO >> Refer to WCS "Diagnosis Procedure".

Diagnosis Procedure

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to WCS "Wiring Diagram".

1. CHECK FUSE

Check if the key switch 10A fuse [No. 8, located in the fuse block (J/B)] is blown.

Is the fuse blown?

YES >> Replace the fuse after repairing the affected circuit.

NO >> GO TO 2

2. CHECK BCM INPUT SIGNAL

Check voltage between BCM harness connector M18 terminal 37 and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> Inspection End.

NO >> GO TO 3

3. CHECK KEY SWITCH CIRCUIT

1. Disconnect BCM connector M18 and key switch.

2. Check continuity between BCM harness connector M18 terminal 37 and key switch harness connector M27 terminal 1.                                                               

3. Check continuity between BCM harness connector M18 terminal 37 and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 4

NO >> Repair or replace harness.

4. CHECK KEY SWITCH POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Check voltage between key switch harness connector M27 terminal 2 and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> Replace key switch.

NO >> Repair or replace harness.

Component Inspection

1. CHECK KEY SWITCH

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect key switch.

3. Check continuity between key switch terminals 1 and 2.

1 -2

When key is inserted into key cylinder : Continuity should exist.

When key is removed from key cylinder : Continuity should not exist.

Is the inspection result normal?
