DTC P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, the 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 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 20 km/h (12.4 mph) for over 20 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

  • HINT:
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 .
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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 OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.

Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / Data List / Starter Signal.

Check the value displayed on the tester when the engine switch is turned to the ON and START positions.

Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (A/T) or clutch switch (M/T).


Disconnect the E45*1, A24*2 switch connector.

  • HINT:
  • *1: A/T
  • *2: M/T

Measure the resistance of the switch connector.

  • Standard resistance (A/T):

    N4 - 5Below 1 Ω
  • Standard resistance (M/T):
  • Clutch Pedal OperationTester ConnectionSpecified Condition
