P0617
4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0617: Starter Relay Circuit High
P0617 - Starter Relay Circuit High
DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.
If the ECM detects the Starter Control (STA) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the STA circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12.43 mph) for over 20 seconds.
MONITOR STRATEGY
TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS
TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on [A].
6. Start the engine.
7. Idle the engine for 5 seconds or more [B].
8. Drive the vehicle at 24 km/h (15 mph) or more for 20 seconds or more [C].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
10. Read the pending DTCs.
HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
12. Input the DTC: P0617.
13. Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
14. If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT
Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction Freeze Frame Data.
PROCEDURE
1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Starter Signal.
(e) Read the value displayed on the Techstream when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more.
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
OK:
B -- INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
C -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STARTER SIGNAL CIRCUIT)
A -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS Check for Intermittent Problems
2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
(a) Inspect the park/neutral position switch Component Tests and General Diagnosticsfor A760H, for A960E).
Result:
B -- REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH Removal
C -- REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
A -- Continue to next step.
3. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STARTER SIGNAL CIRCUIT)
(a) Repair or replace harness or connector (park/neutral position switch - ECM - STARTER relay).
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0617)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(e) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(g) Read the DTCs.
Result:
B -- END
A -- REPLACE ECM Removal
5. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STARTER SIGNAL CIRCUIT)
(a) Repair or replace harness or connector (clutch pedal switch - ECM - STARTER relay).
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
6. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0617)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(e) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(g) Read the DTCs.
Result:
B -- END
A -- REPLACE ECM Removal
