DTC |
P061512 |
Starter Relay Circuit Short to Battery |
DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, 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 this DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 20 seconds or more.

|---|---|
|
Ignition switch ON |
OFF |
(f) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream while the vehicle is being driven with an engine speed of 1000 rpm or more at a vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more.
OK:
|
Condition |
Starter SW |
|---|---|
|
Driving at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more (engine speed 1000 rpm or more) |
OFF |
HINT:
If the result of either of the above is not as specified, proceed to the next step with the ignition switch ON, the Techstream connected and Data List item "Starter SW" selected.
HINT:
If the starter assembly operates continuously when the ignition switch is turned to ON, proceed to the next step without reading the Data List item "Starter SW".
| OK |

|
Result |
Proceed to |
|---|---|
|
The Data List item "Starter SW" does not change from ON. |
A |
|
The Data List item "Starter SW" changes from ON to OFF. |
B |
HINT:
- When the result of the above inspection is "The Data List item "Starter SW" does not change from ON", the ST relay is normal.
- DTCs may be stored during this inspection. Check for DTCs and clear them using the Techstream.

3. |
CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF ST RELAY) |
HINT:
The purpose of this step is to check for ST relay terminal voltage under abnormal conditions.
|
(a) Remove the ST relay from the engine room relay block and junction block assembly. |
|
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Measure the voltage between ST relay terminal 2 and body ground.
HINT:
- Make a note of the measured voltage as it will be necessary for inspecting the change in voltage in the next step. As the next step should be conducted under the same conditions, keep the ignition switch ON and do not install the ST relay.
- DTCs may be stored during this inspection. Check for DTCs and clear them using the Techstream.
-
If any voltage was measured with the ignition switch ON, one of the following malfunctions is suspected:
- Short to +B in the circuit of a connected ECU or park/neutral position switch assembly.
- Short to +B in the wire harness.

|
|
|
5. |
INSPECT ECM (CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT) |
