DTC P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High


DESCRIPTION

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

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. 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 (LandCruiser RM000000PDG103X.html).
  2. Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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 GTS (STARTER SIGNAL)
  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Starter Signal.

  1. Check the value displayed on the GTS when the engine switch is turned to on (IG) and when the engine is started.

    Standard:

    Condition
    Display (Starter Signal)
    Engine switch on (IG)
    OFF
    Engine is started
    ON

7.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PNP SWITCH OR CLUTCH SWITCH ASSEMBLY - STA TERMINAL OF ECM)
  1. for Automatic Transmission:

    1. Disconnect the park/neutral position switch assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open):
      Tester Connection
      Condition
      Specified Condition
      C159-5 - G56-28 (STA)
      Always
