STOP AND START SYSTEM(for 2AR-FE), Diagnostic DTC:P16449E

DTC Code DTC Name
P16449E Starter Circuit Stuck On

DESCRIPTION

The engine stop and start ECU detects abnormalities in the DI (+B) value that is input from the integrated IC (stop and start backup boost converter integrated IC) to the CPU.

If a logical inconsistency occurs between the +B value and DI (+B) value input to the CPU, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P16449E and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Warning Indicate Memory Note
P16449E Starter Circuit Stuck On

Both of the following conditions are met for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic):


  • +B terminal voltage is 9.16 V or more.

  • Low battery voltage is detected.

  • Wire harness or connector

  • Engine stop and start ECU

 Blinks DTC stored SAE Code: P1644

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING

    Tech Tips


    • If the cable is disconnected from the battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed.

      In this case, let the vehicle idle to complete the refresh charge. The refresh charge is complete when the Data List item [Status of Battery Charge Control] changes from "Refresh Charge Mode". (Usually, idling the engine for 5 to 60 minutes with the battery fluid temperature at 11°C (52°F) or higher, the refresh charge will be completed.)

    • If the GTS is not available and the Data List item [Status of Battery Charge Control] cannot be checked, charge the battery by idling the engine for approximately 5 to 60 minutes or driving the vehicle, and then drive the vehicle and check that stop and start control operates.

      If the engine is started with the hood open, the system determines that a jump start has occurred. Therefore, make sure that the hood is closed before starting the engine and driving the vehicle.

    • After the refresh charge completes, turn the engine switch off, wait for at least 30 seconds, and then start the engine again. If the vehicle enters refresh charge mode again while the engine is idling, the initial refresh charge did not properly complete, so wait for the refresh charge to complete.

    • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after it is warmed up and check that the engine idle speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Clear the DTCs.


      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs

    5. Start the engine and warm it up.

    6. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    7. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

    8. Keep the engine stopped by stop and start control for 1 second or more. (Keep the shift lever in D.)

    9. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.

      Tech Tips

      If the engine cranks slowly when the engine is restarted, it can be determined that the battery voltage is low.

    10. Check that DTCs are not output.

    Tech Tips


    • If the cable is disconnected from the battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed.

      In this case, let the vehicle idle to complete the refresh charge. The refresh charge is complete when the Data List item [Status of Battery Charge Control] changes from "Refresh Charge Mode".

If the vehicle enters refresh charge mode again while the engine is idling, the initial refresh charge did not properly complete, so wait for the refresh charge to complete.


    1. Start the engine and warm it up.

    2. Turn the air conditioning system off.

    3. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    4. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

    5. Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control. (Keep the shift lever in D.)

    6. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.

Note


  • When replacing the engine stop and start ECU with a new one, make sure to download the previous status (number of starter operations) of the old engine stop and start ECU. After replacing the engine stop and start ECU, turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait 20 seconds, then confirm that "OK" is displayed for the Data List item [Stop&Start Operating Permission (Discharged Oil Pump Air)]. Then upload the previous status (number of starter operations) to the engine stop and start ECU.

Tech Tips


  • If DTCs P16449E (Starter Circuit Stuck On) and P060B1C (Analog to Digital Converter Circuit Voltage Out of Range), P060B49 (Analog to Digital Converter Internal Electronic Failure) or P060B71 (Analog to Digital Converter Actuator Stuck) are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting for DTC P060B1C, P060B49 or P060B71 first as it may have caused DTC P16449E to be stored.
