This section covers the more
common problems that motorists
experience with their vehicles. It
gives you information about how to
safely evaluate the problem and what
to do to correct it. If the problem has
stranded you on the side of the road,
you may be able to get going again. If
not, you will also find instructions on
getting your vehicle towed.Compact Spare Tire

Diagnosing why the engine won't
start falls into two areas, depending
on what you hear when you turn the
ignition switch to the START (III)
position or on models with keyless
access system, press the engine
start/stop button to set START mode
(see page 194):●You hear nothing, or almost
nothing. The engine's starter
motor does not operate at all, or
operates very slowly.●You can hear the starter motor
operating normally, or the starter
motor sounds like it is spinning
faster than normal, but the engine
does not start up and run.Nothing Happens or the Starter
Motor Operates Very Slowly
When you turn the ignition switch to
the START (III) position or on
models with keyless access system,
press the engine start/stop button to
set START mode (see page 194), you
do not hear the normal noise of the
engine trying to start. You may hear
a clicking sound, a series of clicks, or
nothing at all.
Check these things:
●Check the transmission interlock.
The transmission must be in Park
or neutral or the starter will not
operate.
●Turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position or on models with
keyless access system, press the
engine start/stop button to set ON
mode (see page 194). Turn on the
headlights, and check their
brightness. If the headlights are
very dim or do not come on at all,
the battery is discharged. See
Jump Starting
on page 587.●Turn the ignition switch to the
START (III) position or on models
with keyless access system, press
the engine start/stop button to set
START mode (see page 194). If the
headlights do not dim, check the
condition of the fuses. If the fuses
are OK, there is probably
something wrong with the
electrical circuit for the ignition
switch or starter motor. You will
need a qualified technician to
determine the problem. See
Emergency Towing on page 602.

If the headlights dim noticeably or
go out when you try to start the
engine, either the battery is
discharged or the connections are
corroded. Check the condition of
the battery and terminal
connections (see page 573). You
can then try jump starting the
vehicle from a booster battery (see
page 587).
The Starter Operates Normally
In this case, the starter motor's speed
sounds normal, or even faster than
normal, when you turn the ignition
switch to the START (III) position or
on models with keyless access
system, press the engine start/stop
button to set START mode (see page
194), but the engine does not run.●Are you using a properly coded
key? An improperly coded key will
cause the immobilizer system
indicator in the instrument panel
to blink rapidly (see page 70).
On models with keyless access system●Do you have your keyless access
system remote with you? The
vehicle will not start without the
remote within operating range.
The vehicle will not start without
the remote within operating range
and with the keyless access main
switch in the glove box turned on.●Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to Starting the
Engine on page 475.●Do you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the warning indicator may
not be working.●There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses (see
page 596). If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find the
problem. See
Emergency Towing on
page 602.
NOTE: If you are unable to stop the
engine normally while in the Park
position, see Emergency Engine
Stop on page 200.

The vehicle's fuses are located in
four fuse boxes.
The driver's side interior fuse box is
underneath the dashboard on the
driver's side.
The passenger's side interior fuse
box is on the lower passenger's side
panel. To remove the fuse box lid,
put your finger in the notch on the
lid, and pull it upward slightly, then
pull it toward you and take it out of
its hinges.

The primary under-hood fuse box is
on the passenger's side. The
secondary fuse box is located next to
the battery.
To open it, push the tabs as shown.Checking and Replacing Fuses
If something electrical in your
vehicle stops working, the first thing
you should check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on pages
599, 600, and 601, or the diagram on
the fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses
control that device. Check those
fuses first, but check all the fuses
before deciding that a blown fuse is
the cause. Replace any blown fuses,
and check if the device works.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position. Make sure the
headlights and all other
accessories are off.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine
start/stop button instead of an
ignition switch. VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK) mode is the equivalent of
LOCK (0). See page 196 for
ignition switch and power mode
comparison.
2. Remove the cover from the fusebox.
3. Check each of the large fuses in the under-hood fuse boxes by
looking through the top at the wire
inside. Removing these fuses
requires a Phillips-head
screwdriver.FUSE BLOWN

Page 602 of 645
Also check the combined fuse box
in the under-hood fuse box.
4. Check the smaller fuses in theunder-hood fuse boxes and rear
fuse box, and all the fuses in the
interior and rear fuse boxes by
pulling out each one with the fuse
puller provided in the primary
under-hood fuse box.
5. Look for a burned wire inside thefuse. If it is burned out, replace it
with one of the spare fuses of the
same rating or lower.

Your vehicle has spare fuses on the
back of the under-hood fuse box
cover.If you cannot drive the vehicle
without fixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
from one of the other circuits. Make
sure you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything is wrong. Replace
the fuse with one of the correct
rating as soon as you can.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a
replacement fuse with the proper rating
for the circuit, install one with a lower
rating.
6. If the replacement fuse of the same
rating blows in a short time, there
is probably a serious electrical
problem with your vehicle. Leave
the blown fuse in that circuit, and
have your vehicle checked by a
qualified technician.
