1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.
Is any other DTC displayed?
Check the appropriate DTC using the “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”. List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">

2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND STARTER RELAY 1 CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B136) No. 16 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
NOTE:
For CVT model, place the select lever in “P” range or “N” range.
Is the voltage 10 V or more?
Repair the short circuit to power in harness between ECM connector and starter relay 1 connector.
Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect abnormal continuity in the starter SW.
Judge as ON NG when the starter SW signal remains ON.
2. EXECUTION CONDITION
Secondary parameters | Execution condition |
Battery voltage | ≥ 8 V |
Engine speed | ≥ 500 rpm |
Starter relay command | OFF |
3. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Always perform the diagnosis continuously.
4. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.
Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
Measured ECM input voltage which is supplied from 12 V battery system through the starter relay | ≥ 12 V battery system voltage ? 0.85 V |
Time Needed for Diagnosis: 30000 ms
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
