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 Click here.


  1. After troubleshooting, perform the following steps to recheck for DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the stop and start will be prohibited. In this case, drive the vehicle for 15 to 40 minutes to permit the stop and start operation.

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


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    3. Start the engine and warm it up.

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

      CAUTION:

      When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    5. Stop the vehicle, allow the engine to stop due to stop and start system control and wait for 3 seconds or more (with the shift lever in D).

    6. Release the brake pedal to allow the engine to restart (with the shift lever in D).

      Tech Tips

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

    7. Check that no DTCs are output Click here.

  2. Check if the Stop and Start system operates normally.

    Tech Tips

    If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the stop and start will be prohibited. In this case, drive the vehicle for 15 to 40 minutes to permit the stop and start operation.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the air conditioning system off.

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

      CAUTION:

      When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    4. Stop the vehicle, allow the engine to stop due to stop and start system control and wait for 10 seconds or more (with the shift lever in D).

    5. Release the brake pedal to allow the engine to restart (with the shift lever in D).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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.
