  4. Select the {Current Data Display & Save}.
  5. Select the {BATT voltage} and {IG power supply}.
Does the {IG power supply voltage} indicates 0 V when ignition is OFF or a value in a range of ±1 V from the {BATT voltage} when ignition is ON. The ignition switch input circuit is OK. Go to step .
2 CHECK IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the harness connector of body integrated unit.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the voltage between harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
