STOP AND START SYSTEM STA Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The engine stop and start ECU utilizes the starter delay circuit to activate the start pinion activation relay (ST relay), then the starter motor activation relay (ST/ST2 relay), and then operates the starter.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • If the engine stop and start ECU is being replaced, register the previously recorded number of starter operations into the new engine stop and start ECU Click here.

  • After the engine stop and start ECU is replaced or after an air conditioner kit is installed, clear the A/C information stored in the engine stop and start ECU Click here.

  • After the engine stop and start ECU or airbag sensor assembly (yaw rate sensor) is replaced, initialize and calibrate 0 point of deceleration sensor Click here.

  • After the starter assembly is replaced, clear the number of starter operations. Click here

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