Diagnostic Procedure
| Step | Inspection | Results | Action | 
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION •  Record the freeze frame data/snapshot data. 
 | — | Go to the next step. | 
| 2 | VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION OR SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY •  Verify related Service Bulletins, on-line repair information, or Service Information availability. •  Is any related Information available? | Yes | Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available information. •  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step. | 
| No | Go to the next step. | ||
| 3 | VERIFY DTCs FOR STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH •  Perform the DTC inspection for the body control module (BCM). (See DTC INSPECTION.) •  Are any DTCs displayed? | Yes | Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. | 
| No | Go to the next step. | ||
| 4 | VERIFY IF STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY •  Verify the starter interlock switch installation condition.
 •  Is the installation condition normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Correctly install the starter interlock switch and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 5 | VERIFY IF CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY •  Verify the clutch stroke sensor installation condition.
 •  Is the installation condition normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Correctly install the clutch stroke sensor and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 6 | INSPECT STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION •  Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION.) •  Are the connector and terminal normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 7 | INSPECT STARTER INTERLOCK SWITCH FOR MALFUNCTION •  Inspect the applicable part.
 •  Is the part normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 8 | INSPECT CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION •  Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION.) •  Are the connector and terminal normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 9 | INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION •  Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION.) •  Are the connector and terminal normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 10 | INSPECT CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT AND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND •  Inspect the applicable circuit for a short to ground. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.) •  Is the circuit normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 11 | INSPECT CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY •  Inspect the applicable circuit for a short to power supply. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.) •  Is the circuit normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 12 | INSPECT CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS, SIGNAL CIRCUITS, AND GROUND CIRCUITS FOR SHORT CIRCUIT •  Inspect the applicable circuits for a short circuit. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.) •  Is the circuit normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 13 | INSPECT CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS, SIGNAL CIRCUITS, AND GROUND CIRCUITS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT •  Inspect the applicable circuit for open circuit. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.) •  Is the circuit normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| 14 | INSPECT CLUTCH STROKE SENSOR FOR MALFUNCTION •  Inspect the applicable part.
 •  Is the part normal? | Yes | Go to the next step. | 
| No | Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification. | ||
| Repair completion verification 1 | VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED •  Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure. •  Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC.) •  Replicate the vehicle conditions at the time the DTC was detected using the following procedure. 
 •  Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM. (See DTC INSPECTION.) •  Is the same Pending DTC present? | Yes | Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error. If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1. •  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
 | 
| No | Go to the next step. | ||
| Repair completion verification 2 | VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED •  Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC INSPECTION.) •  Are any other DTCs displayed? | Yes | Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. | 
| No | DTC troubleshooting completed. |
