DTC P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High

Description DTC P0617

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 Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0617 When conditions (a), (b) and (c) are met, and a positive (+B) battery voltage of 10.5 V or higher is applied to the ECM for 20 seconds (1 trip detection logic).
  1. (a) The vehicle speed is 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or more.
  2. (b) The engine speed is 1000 rpm or more.
  3. (c) The STA signal is on.

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 .
  2. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

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

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

  1. Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to ON and when the engine is started.

    Standard:

    Ignition Switch Condition Display (Starter Signal)
    ON OFF
    Engine is started ON
