AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM(for 2GR-FKS), Diagnostic DTC:P061512

DTC Code DTC Name
P061512 Starter Relay Circuit Short to Battery

DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, 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 this DTC.

This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for more than 20 seconds.

  7. Drive the vehicle for 20 seconds or more with the following conditions met:


    • Engine speed of 1000 rpm or more.

    • Vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more.

  8. Stop the vehicle.

  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.

  10. Input the DTC: P061512.

  11. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (STARTER SW)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / Starter SW.


      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Starter SW Starter signal ON or OFF

      • ON: Starter operating

      • OFF: Starter not operating

      		 -

      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display
      Starter SW

    5. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

      Standard
      Condition Starter SW
      Engine switch on (IG) OFF

    6. According to the display on the GTS, 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

      Tech Tips

      If the result of either of the above is not as specified, proceed to the next step with the engine switch on (IG), GTS connected and Data List item "Starter SW" selected.

      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

      Tech Tips

      If the starter assembly operates continuously when the engine switch is turned on (IG), proceed to the next step without reading the Data List item "Starter SW".

  2. INSPECT ST NO. 1 RELAY (CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT)


    1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / Starter SW.


      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Starter SW Starter signal ON or OFF

      • ON: Starter operating

      • OFF: Starter not operating

    *1 No. 2 Engine Room Relay Block and No. 2 Junction Block Assembly
    *2 ST NO. 1 Relay Holder

    Tech Tips

    The purpose of this step is to check for ST NO. 1 relay terminal voltage under abnormal conditions.


    1. Remove the ST NO. 1 relay from the No. 2 engine room relay block and No. 2 junction block assembly.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Measure the voltage between ST NO. 1 relay terminal 2 and body ground.

      Tech Tips


      • Make a note of the measured voltage as it will be necessary for inspecting the change in voltage in the next step. As the next step should be conducted under the same conditions, keep the engine switch on (IG) and do not install the ST NO. 1 relay.

      • DTCs may be stored during this inspection. Check for DTCs and clear them using the GTS.

      • If any voltage was measured with the engine switch on (IG), one of the following malfunctions is suspected:


        • Short to +B in the circuit of a connected ECU or park/neutral position switch assembly.

        • Short to +B in the wire harness.
