Toyota MR2 Ignition Switch
The Ignition Switch of a Toyota MR2 controls the starter and component power by routing battery current. This unit, which comes fitted as standard to every Toyota MR2, is found on the steering column and features a lock cylinder that only allows rotation with the correct coded key. The Ignition Switch features positions for lock, off, acc, on, and start. The lock position locks the steering shaft and gear selector. The acc position powers the radio and other features. The on position powers the engine and electronics. The start position directs current to the starter ignition and fuel injection circuits until the engine fires. To prevent the engine from running unless the code received from the transponder in the key is accepted, providing added theft deterrence for the Toyota MR2. Wear on wafer tumbler contacts or the internal contacts of the Ignition Switch may result in a tough to turn switch. This may cause either no crank, transient loss of component power, or unexpected engine shut-off. When functionality is not at its peak, a replacement Ignition Switch restores reliable operation for the Toyota MR2 driver. The Ignition Switch is essential for ensuring the vehicle operates smoothly.

Toyota MR2 Ignition Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to check and replace the Ignition Lock Cylinder and Ignition Switch on a Toyota MR2?A:The ignition switch and Ignition Lock Cylinder are located on the right side of the steering column assembly. To check them, locate the large plastic electrical connector next to the turn signal/hazard flasher/Dimmer Switch connector at the bottom of the steering column assembly; the ignition switch electrical connector is a large dark connector, while the warning buzzer connector is a small white one located beneath the forward end of the steering column assembly. The smaller connector activates the warning buzzer when the key is turned on. Use an ohmmeter to check the continuity between the indicated terminals of their electrical connectors; if the continuity of the ignition switch or the buzzer is not as specified, replace the ignition switch. For replacement, first remove the steering wheel, then take out the six screws from the lower steering column assembly cover half and remove both the upper and lower covers from the steering column assembly. Next, remove the lower dash panel, followed by the Ignition Lock Cylinder retaining screw, and then take out the Ignition Lock Cylinder. Installation is the reverse of removal.
