Starter Relay Circuit High (P0617)

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 stores the DTC.

This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h or more for over 20 seconds.

1. 1
   Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. 2
   Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
3. 3
   Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) (See page ).
4. 4
   Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
5. 5
   Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].
6. 6
   Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [B].
7. 7
   Drive the vehicle at 24 km/h or more for 20 seconds or more [C].

   CAUTION:

   When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

8. 8
   Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
9. 9
   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.
10. 10
    Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
11. 11
    Input the DTC: P0617.
12. 12
    Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream Display	Description
    NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
    ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
13. 13
    If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (See page ).
    

    HINT:

    • If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the 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 help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Starter Signal.

(e) Check the value displayed on the Techstream when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h or more.

A

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

B

1. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly (See page for U760E, See page
for U760F).

B

GO TO STEP 4

C

REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

D

REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

A

1. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STA SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

(a) Repair or replace harness or connector (park/neutral position switch assembly - power management control ECU - ECM - ST relay)

NEXT

GO TO STEP 5

1. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STA SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

(a) Repair or replace harness or connector (park/neutral position switch assembly - ECM - ST relay).

1. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(e) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

(f) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern.

(g) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(h) Read the DTCs.
