DTC |
P061512 |
Starter Relay Circuit Short to Battery |
DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the TCM.
If the TCM detects the starter control (STA) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the STA circuit. The TCM then illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
This monitor begins running when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 20 seconds.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
-
Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws and road conditions.
- Do not drive the vehicle with the cable of the Techstream contacting the pedals, shift lever or steering wheel.
- Driving the vehicle with the cable of the Techstream contacting these areas could impede vehicle control, resulting in a serious accident.
-
Do not operate the Techstream while driving the vehicle.
- Operating the Techstream while driving the vehicle will prevent you from paying sufficient attention to vehicle surroundings, and could result in a serious accident.

(f) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List 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.
Standard:
|
Condition |
Starter SW |
|---|---|
|
Driving at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more (engine speed 1000 rpm or more) |
OFF |
OK:
On the Techstream screen, ON or OFF is displayed accordingly.
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 |
|

INSPECT ST RELAY (CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / Starter SW.
(e) Remove the ST relay from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.
(f) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
