DETERMINE IF OPEN CIRCUIT LOCATION IN HS-CAN CIRCUIT IS BETWEEN DLC AND CONNECTOR C-33 OR ELSEWHERE
•  Start the engine to verify that the immobilizer system operates normally.
•  Can the engine be started?
Note
•  If there is an open circuit in the wiring harness between the PCM and the start stop unit, the engine cannot be started because the key ID number verification for the immobilizer system is performed by CAN communication.
