Title: G16E-GTS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: Starter Signal Circuit; 2025 MY GR Corolla [09/2024 -        ]

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 clutch start switch assembly*1 or park/neutral position switch assembly*2 and to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).

  • *1: for M/T Models
  • *2: for A/T Models
