STOP AND START SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0617

DTC Code DTC Name
P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

When the engine is started by stop and start control, the engine stop and start ECU controls the starter assembly by activating the ST NO. 1 relay (for starter pinion operation) via voltage from terminal STA and then, using its built-in starter delay circuit, activating the ST NO. 2 relay (for starter motor operation) via voltage from terminal STA2.

If overcurrent is detected in the starter relay circuit, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P0617 and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator light.

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


  • Engine switch on (IG)

  • Overcurrent to ST NO. 1 relay or ST NO. 2 relay is detected.

  • Wire harness or connector

  • ST NO. 1 relay

  • ST NO. 2 relay

  • Engine stop and start ECU

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tech Tips

DTCs for the stop and start system are not cleared even if the malfunction has been repaired. After repairing the malfunction, be sure to clear the DTCs.

  1. Tech Tips


    • If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 60 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.

    • 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.

    CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

    3. Clear the DTCs.

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

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

    6. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

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

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

    9. Check that DTCs are not output.

  2. STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

    Tech Tips

    If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 60 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.


    1. Start the engine and warm it up.

    2. Turn the air conditioning system off.

    3. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 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.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tech Tips

Using the GTS, read the freeze frame data before troubleshooting. System condition information is recorded as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE STOP AND START ECU - BBC FUSE)


    1. Disconnect the A82 engine stop and start ECU connector.

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

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A82-1 (BIN2) - BBC NO. 2 fuse terminal 2 Always Below 1 Ω
      A82-3 (BIN1) - BBC NO. 1 fuse terminal 2 Always Below 1 Ω
      A82-1 (BIN2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A82-3 (BIN1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      BBC NO. 1 fuse terminal 2 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      BBC NO. 2 fuse terminal 2 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
