Starter Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

1. w/o Smart Key System

While the engine is being cranked, current flows from terminal ST1 of the ignition switch assembly to the park/neutral position switch assembly and also flows to terminal STA of the ECM (STA Signal).

2. w/ Smart Key System

While the engine is being cranked, current flows from terminal STAR of the power management control ECU to the park/neutral position switch assembly and also flows to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

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

PROCEDURE

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) Read the value displayed on the Techstream when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the engine is started.

OK:

Condition	Techstream Display
Ignition switch ON	OFF (starter signal OFF)
Engine started	ON (starter signal ON)

OK
