1Vd-Ftv Engine Control. Dtc P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).
After replacing the fuel supply pump assembly, the ECM needs initialization (Click here).
After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration (Click here).

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 (Click here).
If this DTC is output, inspect the starter.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1.READ VALUE USING GTS (STARTER SIGNAL)

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

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

Read the value displayed on the GTS when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or more with engine speed at 1000 rpm or more.

Result:

	ON	w/ Smart Entry and Start System	for automatic transmission	B
			for manual transmission	C
		w/o Smart Entry and Start System	for automatic transmission	D
			for manual transmission	E

2.INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

Inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly (Click here).

REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY (Click here)

OK

3.REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STA SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

Repair or replace the harness or connector (park/neutral position switch assembly - ST NO. 1 relay - ECM - certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)).

Go to step 6

4.INSPECT CLUTCH START SWITCH

Inspect the clutch start switch (Click here).

REPLACE CLUTCH START SWITCH ASSEMBLY (Click here)

OK

5.REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STA SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

Repair or replace the harness or connector (STA signal circuit).

NEXT

6.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (P0617)

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

Clear the DTCs.

Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

Drive the vehicle for 25 seconds or more at a speed of 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or more and an engine speed of 1000 rpm or more.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

Read the DTCs.

Result:
