P0617

2GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0617: Starter Relay Circuit High

DTC P0617 - Starter Relay Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, the positive 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 sets the DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 12.4 mph (20 km/h) for over 20 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- The following troubleshooting flowchart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine will not crank, proceed to the problem symptoms table Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures.
- 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 be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH SMART KEY SYSTEM
Result:






B -- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
A -- Continue to next step.
2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Starter Signal.
(d) Check the result when the ignition switch is turned on (IG).
(e) Check the result when the engine starts.
Standard:






Result:






B -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
A -- Continue to next step.
3. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY




(a) Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






Result:





(c) Reconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
B -- INSPECT IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
A -- Continue to next step.
4. REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Replace the park/neutral position switch (U151E: , U151F: Components).
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Starter Signal.
(d) Check the result when the ignition switch is turned on (IG).
(e) Check the result when the engine starts.
Standard:






NG -- INSPECT IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
OK -- SYSTEM OK
6. INSPECT IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

Standard resistance:






Result:





(c) Reconnect the ignition switch connector.
B -- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
A -- Continue to next step.
7. REPLACE IGNITION OR STARTER SWITCH
(a) Replace the ignition switch assembly Components.
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
8. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Starter Signal.
(d) Check the result when the ignition switch is turned on (IG).
(e) Check the result when the engine starts.
Standard:






Result:






B -- SYSTEM OK
A -- Continue to next step.
9. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - ECM)
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
10. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Clear DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(d) Drive the vehicle at more than 20 km/h (12.4 mph) for over 20 seconds.
(e) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(f) Read DTCs.
Result:






B -- SYSTEM OK
A -- REPLACE ECM
11. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Starter Signal.
(d) Check the result when the ignition switch is turned on (IG).
(e) Check the result when the engine starts.
Standard:






NG -- INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
OK -- REPLACE ECM
12. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH




(a) Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
