Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnosis Procedure
- CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION
Press push-button ignition switch and check if it turns to ON.
Does ignition switch turn to ON?
YES: GO TO 2.
NO: GO TO 4.
- CHECK IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT SIGNAL (IPDM E/R)
- Disconnect push-button ignition switch connector.
- Check voltage between IPDM E/R harness connector and ground.TERMINALS VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(+) (-) Voltage (V) (Approx.) IPDM E/R Connector Terminal E5 28 Ground Battery voltage
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 3.
NO: Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT (IPDM E/R)
- Disconnect IPDM E/R connector and BCM connector.
- Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and push-button ignition switch harness connector.TERMINALS CONTINUITY REFERENCE

IPDM E/R Ground Continuity Connector Terminal E5 28 Not existed
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 6.
NO: Repair or replace harness or connector.
- CHECK IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT SIGNAL (BCM)
- Disconnect push-button ignition switch connector.
- Check voltage between BCM harness connector and ground.TERMINALS VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(+) (-) Voltage (V) (Approx.) BCM Connector Terminal M122 89 Ground Battery voltage
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 5.
NO: Replace BCM. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT (BCM)
- Disconnect BCM connector and IPDM E/R connector.
- Check continuity between BCM harness connector and push-button ignition switch harness connector.TERMINALS CONTINUITY REFERENCE

BCM Ground Continuity Connector Terminal M122 89 Not existed
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: GO TO 6.
NO: Repair or replace harness or connector.
- CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
