No crank, no start?

Hi,

I just went to the wiring schematics for the starter circuit and I need to know if this has an intelligent key or not.

It sounds like you have done a lot already. I will tell you, the most common problem related to a no crank (no starter engagement) issue is the actual IPDM.

The IPDM (intelligent power distribution module) is basically the underhood fuse panel. Several of the components in it and integral to a printed circuit board (PCB). Because it is a PCB, it is not serviceable. The starter relay, in this case, is integral to the PCB.

I'm not sure why they designed it like this. It is very frustrating if a 5 dollar relay has failed and instead, you have to replace the entire IPDM.

Let me know so I can look into it a bit further.

Take care,

Hi,

That is the intelligent system. There is a starter relay and a starter control relay that work together. Both are integral to the IPDM. (See pic below)

Here is what I would recommend. Rather than just replacing the IPDM, scan the can-bus system to see if there are codes related to the issue.

CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires so they can communicate with each other. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link explaining how it's done:

Although I suspect the IPDM is the faulty part, I would feel more comfortable knowing for certain. I'm sure you understand.

Let me know.

Hi,

It appears the intelligent ignition system doesn't recognize the key is present. If you have a spare key, try that. If you don't, we need to have one made that is known good and matches the vehicle.

I attached the diagnostics below.

Let me know.
