Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information




ECM-5200 STARTER MOTOR SIGNAL
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INFORMATION

Condition
If engine speed (RPM) is above 600 rpm, vehicle speed is 0 km/h and the engine control module (ECM) has not registered that the ignition key has been turned to start position (when the starter motor should begin to operate), it is interpreted as a fault signal too low. If the control module receives a signal that the ignition key has been turned to start position while driving (under certain driving conditions), it is interpreted as a too high signal. The engine control module (ECM) will then store ECM-5200.

Condition
None.

Possible source

Signal too high:
- signal cable short-circuited to supply.

Signal too low:
- short-circuit to ground in the signal cable
- open-circuit in the signal cable.

Condition
None.
