- Check to be sure that voltage should be output as follows, with the ignition key OFF, and door switch ON (door opened), when each switch is operated. If there is no output of a voltage pattern at all, or if the buzzer does not sound, check for a malfunction of that switch for damaged or disconnected wiring.
