| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0617 | Starter Relay Circuit High |
DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, positive battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.
If the ECM detects the starter control (STA) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the STA circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle has been driven at 20 km/h (12.5 mph) or more for more than 20 seconds.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0617 | Starter Relay Circuit High | Conditions (a), (b) and (c) are met for 20 seconds (1 trip detection logic): (a) Vehicle speed is more than 20 km/h (12.5 mph). (b) Engine speed is more than 1000 rpm. (c) STA signal is on. |

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
When replacing the ECM, perform ECM Initialization and Registration.
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING GTS (STARTER SIGNAL)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Starter Signal.
| Tester Display |

| Starter Signal |
Check the value displayed on the GTS when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12.5 mph) or more.
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
