SFI SYSTEM Starter Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, current flows from terminal ST2 of the ignition or starter switch assembly*1 or terminal STAR of the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)*2 to the park/neutral position switch assembly*3 or clutch start switch assembly*4 and to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).

*1: w/o entry and start system

*2: w/ entry and start system

*3: for CVT models

*4: for manual transaxle models
