SFI SYSTEM - Starter Signal Circuit


DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, current flows from terminal ST1 of the ignition switch to the park/neutral position switch (for CVT) or clutch start switch (for Manual Transaxle) and also flows to terminal STA of the ECM (STA Signal).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
HINT:
This chart is based on the premise that the engine can be cranked normally. If the engine does not crank normally, proceed to the Problem Symptoms Table (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000PDG0A0X.html).
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the tester on.

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

  1. Read the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is ON and when the engine is cranking.

    OK:

    Ignition Switch Position
    Starter Signal
    ON
    OFF
    START
    ON

  1. Remove the ST relay from the No. 7 relay block (for LHD).

  1. Remove the ST relay from the No. 8 relay block (for RHD).

  1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

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

    Standard Resistance (Check for Open):
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    ST relay terminal 1 - A12-48 (STA)
    Always
    Below 1 Ω
    Standard Resistance (Check for Short):
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    ST relay terminal 1 or A12-48 (STA) - Body ground
    Always
    10 kΩ or higher
  1. Reinstall the ST relay.

  1. Reconnect the ECM connector.
