Title: 2GR-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: Starter Signal Circuit; 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]

Starter Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, current flows from terminal STAR of the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) to the park/neutral position switch and to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).
