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 has been driven at 20 km/h (12.5 mph) or more for more than 20 seconds.
DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
Drive the vehicle for 25 seconds or more at a speed of 20 km/h (12.5 mph) or more and an engine speed of 1000 rpm or more | Conditions (a), (b) and (c) are met for 20 seconds (1 trip detection logic): (a) Vehicle speed is more than 20 km/h (12.5 mph). (b) Engine speed is more than 1000 rpm. (c) STA signal is on. |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000012XK03ZX.html) and initialization (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000TIN04BX.html).
- HINT:
- The following troubleshooting process is based on the premise that the engine can crank normally. If the engine does not crank, proceed to Problem Symptoms Table (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000012WF03PX.html).
- If this DTC is output, inspect the starter.
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL) |

Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
Read the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to ON.
- OK:
