Honda HR-V: Testing, Symptom Troubleshooting

TESTING

ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH TEST

Test

1. Dashboard switch Panel - Remove

2. Engine Start/Stop Switch - Test

1. Check the engine start/stop switch (A) according to the table.
   NOTE:
   • When an LED is located between terminals, check if the LED lights by connecting power and ground to the LED.
   • Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal.
   • When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting (Diode symbol facing right →) on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
   • Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).
2. If the result is not as specified, replace the engine start/stop switch.

3. All Removed Parts - Install

1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
