MONITOR DESCRIPTION

DTC Detecting Condition:

Monitor Strategy:

Typical Enabling Conditions:

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.

If the vehicle is being driven and the ECM detects the starter control signal (STA), the ECM concludes that the starter control circuit is malfunctioning. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
