Immobilizer-Keyless Control Unit Input Test

2011 Honda CR-V EX, 2.4 RE3, MZJASECTION Immobilizer-Keyless Control Unit Input Test
NOTE: Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control unit first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ), and check the No. 23 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 2 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  1. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see DRIVER'S DASHBOARD LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Remove the steering column covers (see COLUMN COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  3. Disconnect the 7P connector (A) from the immobilizer-keyless control unit (B).

  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 5.
  5. With the connector still disconnected, do these input tests at the following connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.

    4 PNK B-CAN Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal No. 4 and gauge control module 36P connector terminal No. 20, and under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (16P) terminal No. 6, and under-dash junction box connectors J, F, and L: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    Check for continuity between terminal No. 4 and body ground: There should be no continuity. A short to ground in the wire
    (1) '07-09 models
    (2) '10-11 models
  6. Reconnect the connector, and do these input tests at the following connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, replace the immobilizer-keyless control unit.
    NOTE: After replacing the immobilizer-keyless control unit, do the immobilizer registration (see IMMOBILIZER KEY REGISTRATION ).
