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 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 (RAV4_ACA30 RM000002205011X.html).
  2. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000PDS09FX.html).
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.

  1. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.

  1. Check the result when the ignition switch is turned on (IG).

  1. Check the result when the engine starts.

    Standard:

    Ignition Switch Condition
