Description

Starter relay circuit malfunction

Detection condition

• Start stop unit detects that the starter relay circuit voltage that is less than the specification for 0.05 s or more during cranking.

Fail-safe

Not applicable

Possible cause

• Starter relay malfunction

• Start stop unit connector or terminal malfunction

• Short to ground in wiring harness between starter relay terminal A and start stop unit terminal 2V

• Start stop unit malfunction

Step

Inspection

Action

1

• Switch the ignition off.

• Disconnect the negative battery cable.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Remove the starter relay.

  (See RELAY LOCATION.)

• Inspect the starter relay.

  (See RELAY INSPECTION.)

• Is the starter relay normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the starter relay, then go to Step 4.

(See RELAY LOCATION.)

2

• Disconnect the start stop unit connector.

• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

• Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 4.

3

• Verify that the starter relay is removed.

• Verify that the start stop unit connector is disconnected.

• Inspect for continuity between start stop unit terminal 2V (wiring harness-side) and body ground.

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between starter relay terminal A and start stop unit terminal 2V.

If there is a common connector:

• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:

• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

4

• Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.

• Connect the negative battery cable.

  (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

• Clear the DTC for the start stop unit using the M-MDS.

  (See CLEARING DTC [START STOP UNIT].)

• Wait until 1 s or more have elapsed during cranking.

• Retrieve the start stop unit DTCs using the M-MDS.

  (See DTC INSPECTION [START STOP UNIT].)

• Is the same DTC displayed?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

• If the malfunction recurs, replace the start stop unit.

  (See START STOP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

5

• Are any other DTCs displayed?

Yes

Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See DTC TABLE [START STOP UNIT].)

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
