STOP AND START SYSTEM(for 3ZR-FAE), Diagnostic DTC:P1545

DTC Code DTC Name
P1545 Starter Maintenance

DESCRIPTION

When the number of starter operations reaches the maximum number, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P1545 and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator light. When the STA signal detected by the ECM and by the engine stop and start ECU do not match, the engine stop and start ECU stores DTC P1545 and blinks the stop and start cancel indicator light.

    The STA signal detected by the ECM and STA2 signal detected by the engine stop and start ECU do not match.

  • for Manual Transaxle:

    The STA signal detected by the ECM and the engine stop and start ECU do not match.

  • Wire harness or connector

  • for CVT:

    • ST NO. 1 relay

    • ST NO. 2 relay

    • ST NO. 1 relay

  • Engine stop and start ECU

  • Starter assembly

  • ECM

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tip:

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. Tip:

    • 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 ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Clear the DTCs.

      Click here

      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. for CVT:

      Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

      for Manual Transaxle:

      Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal.

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

    8. for CVT:

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

      for Manual Transaxle:

      Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.

      Tip:

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

    9. Check that no DTCs are output.

  2. STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

    Tip:

    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. for CVT:

      Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.

      for Manual Transaxle:

      Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal.

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

    6. for CVT:

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

      for Manual Transaxle:

      Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • for CVT:

    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 ignition switch to ON and wait 20 seconds, then confirm that "OK" is displayed for the Data List item "Oper Prohibition (O/P Air Bleeding)". Then upload the previous status (number of starter operations) to the engine stop and start ECU.

    Click here

  • for Manual Transaxle:

    Before replacing the engine stop and start ECU, read the number of starter operations and write it into a new engine stop and start ECU.

    Click here

  • After replacing the starter assembly, perform initialization of the number of starter operations stored in the engine stop and start ECU.

    Click here

  • for CVT:

    When the starter assembly is replaced, "ST NO. 1 relay" and "ST NO. 2 relay" must be also replaced.

  • for Manual Transaxle:

    When the starter assembly is replaced, "ST NO. 1 relay" must be also replaced.

  • After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or air conditioning amplifier assembly, reset and perform learning of the air conditioning information in the engine stop and start ECU.

    Click here

  • After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or airbag sensor assembly, clear and calibrate the deceleration sensor zero point in the engine stop and start ECU.

    Click here

  • When the ECM is replaced on a vehicle with a non-specified battery, it is necessary to perform battery type switching.

    Click here

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

Tip:

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.
