NOTICE:

If the Data List item Stop&Start Operating Permission (Power Management) is "NG" even after correcting a certain problem using the diagnostic troubleshooting procedures, the problem may be due to the battery charge amount being temporarily low or the battery may be deteriorated. However, there may be multiple overlapping conditions which are causing system operation to be prohibited, so make sure to always confirm all the diagnostic troubleshooting procedures.

  2. Battery deterioration
  3. Refresh charging was not completed properly
  1. Turn electrical load off as much as possible
  2. CHARGE OR REPLACE BATTERY AFTER CHECKING BATTERY STATE (refer to procedure 18)
  3. Restart the engine after waiting 30 seconds or more after ignition switch to off. If refresh charging begins once more, wait until refresh charging completes while idling.
  • Initialize* the battery integrated current using the Techstream after charging the battery, and drive the vehicle until the stop and start control operates (approximately 5 to 40 minutes).

    *: Use the Techstream to perform Integrated Current Value Initialization.

    HINT:

    If the Data List item "Integrated Current" is 0 A-sec or higher, it is not necessary to perform initialization.

  • When the battery state sensor assembly current value is normal, recharge or replace the battery
  • When the electrical load is large, a large amount of electrical discharge occurs. As a result, the integrated current value (battery charge amount) tends to drop causing operation to be prohibited.
