and a smart key. What is the push button start and how does it operate?
The start button serves as a simple input for the onboard computer. Inputs from the anti-theft, body, and
powertrain computers govern the starter circuit.
35. On vehicles with push button start, to start the vehicle, the vehicle must detect the presence of the correct
smart key and then, the drive must ________.
A. Press on the brake pedal and then press the start button once to power-up the vehicle and then
pressing the start button again to activate the starter circuit. B. Pressing the start button and pressing
the accelerator pedal.
C. Turning the hazard lights ON, then pressing the accelerator pedal, then pressing the start button twice.

36. Place the missing words to complete the statement about the control circuit for computer-controlled vehicles,
including remote starting.
Missing Words: activate, computer, remote, solenoid, starter

The ignition switch on some newer vehicles does not directly control starter operation. Instead, the switch is
an input for the onboard computer system. When the key is turned to the crank position, the body control
module (BCM) signals the powertrain control module (PCM) to activate the crank relay. Current then passes
through the crank relay to the starter solenoid. This arrangement is common on vehicles with factory installed
anti-theft systems. A benefit of this system is the ability to add remote start capability from the vehicle’s key
fob.

system from operating when the transmission is in gear.
A. Neutral Gear.
B. Neutral safety switch.
C. Ignition switch.
40. The safety switch used with an automatic transmission is normally called a park/neutral position or inhibitor
switch. Explain how park/neutral position or inhibitor switch operates.
The neutral safety also known as the inhibitor switch is a safety device that prevents your car from starting if
the transmission is not set to park or neutral. This stops the car from moving forward unexpectedly when the
engine started.

41. The safety switches used with manual transmissions are usually controlled by the clutch pedal. The clutch
start switch serves the same purpose as a park/neutral position switch. The clutch start switch keeps the
starter control circuit open until the clutch pedal ________.
A. Is in gear and NOT depressed.

B. Is NOT depressed.
C. Is depressed.
42. Referring to the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser “Starting System” Workshop Manual fitted with an automatic
