3. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Perform the diagnosis only once after the enable conditions have been established.

4. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria	Threshold Value
Starter cut relay control voltage that exceeds battery voltage ? 0.34	Not detected

Time Needed for Diagnosis: Less than 1 second

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
