Hi,
No problem whatsoever. I can check schematics without the smart key. As far as I'm concerned, the whole smart key thing is dumb. LOL
Okay, if the scan tool does turn on, are there any codes? Also, since the starter won't engage, that tells me you have power at the larger gauge black wire but the smaller gauge wire, blue, doesn't have power.
When the key is in any position other than start, the blue wire will not have power. When you turn the key to the start position, it should have 12v. Can you check that for me and let me know if that is what is happening? If it is, the starter is an issue. Regardless of the CEL, the starter motor should turn the engine.
Let me know.
Joe
See pic below. Note that the starter motor has a hot wire (black) directly from the battery. The blue wire is the trigger wire that engages the starter. It comes from the starter relay.
