DTC P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High


MONITOR DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. If the ECM detects the starter (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 12.43 mph (20 km/h) for over 20 seconds.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


Corolla. Zre142 Aze141.2Az-Fe Engine Control.Sfi System. Dtc P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].
  6. Start the engine.
  7. Idle the engine for 5 seconds or more [B].
  8. Drive the vehicle at 24 km/h (15 mph) or more for 20 seconds or more [C].
    CAUTION:
    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [D].
  10. Read the pending DTCs.
    HINT:
    1. If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    2. If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
  12. Input the DTC: P0617.
  13. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream Display
    		Description
    NORMAL
    1. DTC judgment completed
    2. System normal
    ABNORMAL
    1. DTC judgment completed
    2. System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE
    1. DTC judgment not completed
    2. Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A
    1. Unable to perform DTC judgment
    2. Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
    HINT:
    1. If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    2. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
  14. If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000PDK0ZBX.html).
    HINT:
    1. If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    2. If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
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.
1.READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

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

  1. Read the value displayed on the Techstream when the vehicle is driven at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more.

    CAUTION:
    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
