DESCRIPTION
ENGINE START SYSTEM OPERATION
When the engine switch is pressed with the brake pedal depressed and shift lever in P or N, the main body ECU determines that it is an engine start request.
The certification ECU and other ECUs perform key verification via the LIN communication line. The engine switch indicator light illuminates in green.
The main body ECU activates the D-ACC, D-IG1-1 and IG2 relays.
The certification ECU outputs a steering UNLOCK signal. The signal is sent to the steering lock ECU via the LIN communication line.
The main body ECU sends an engine start request signal to the ECM.
The ECM sends an ACC cut request signal to the main body ECU.
The ECM and main body ECU activate the ST CUT/IGCT2 relay.
The main body ECU deactivates the D-ACC relay until the ECU detects an engine start.
The ECU reactivates the D-ACC relay and turns off the engine switch indicator light.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
CHECK WHETHER ENGINE STARTS AFTER STEERING LOCK INITIALIZATION
Open and close the driver door when the engine switch is off.
Check that the engine starts.
| OK |
|---|
| Engine starts. |
Tech Tips
After the battery runs out, the engine may not start if the steering lock ECU has not been initialized (lock / unlock may not be recorded) through the procedure described above.
| OK |
|
SYSTEM OK |
| NG |
|
CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (MAIN BODY ECU AND CERTIFICATION ECU)
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Tech Tips
After all DTCs are cleared, check if the trouble occurs again 5 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG).
Check for DTCs again.
| OK |
|---|
| No DTC is output. |
| NG |
|

CHECK ENGINE SWITCH (SWITCH CONDITION)
Ensure the key is inside the cabin.
With the brake pedal released, check that the power source mode changes as shown below each time the engine switch is pushed.
| OK |
|---|
| off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off |
| NG |
|
GO TO POWER SOURCE MODE DOES NOT CHANGE Click here |
| OK |
|
CHECK BASIC FUNCTION
Ensure that there is fuel in the fuel tank and the key is inside the cabin.
Depress the brake pedal with the shift lever in P or N, and keep depressing the pedal.
Check that the engine cranks when the engine switch is pressed.
| OK |
|---|
| Engine cranks. |
| OK |
