MONITOR DESCRIPTION
While the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal STA2 of the engine stop and start ECU to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal). If the ECM detects the starter control (STA) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the STA circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12.43 mph) or more for 20 seconds or more.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
P061512 | Starter Relay Circuit Short to Battery | All of the following conditions are met, and auxiliary battery voltage of 10.5 V or higher is applied to the ECM for 20 seconds (1 trip detection logic):

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE
1. | READ VALUE USING GTS (STARTER SW) |
(a) Enter the following menus.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List Tester Display |
---|
Starter SW |
(b) According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
Standard:
Condition | Starter SW |
---|---|
Ignition switch ON | OFF |
(c) According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List while the vehicle is being driven with an engine speed of 1000 rpm or more at a vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12.43 mph) or more.
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Standard:
Condition | Starter SW |
---|---|
Driving at 20 km/h (12.43 mph) or more (engine speed 1000 rpm or more) | OFF |
HINT:
If the result of either of the above is not as specified, proceed to the next step with the ignition switch to ON, GTS connected and Data List item "Starter SW" selected.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
OK | A |
NG | B |
HINT:
If the starter assembly operates continuously when the ignition switch is turned to ON, proceed to the next step without reading the Data List item "Starter SW".
A | CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS |
|
2. | INSPECT ST NO. 1 RELAY (CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT) |
(a) Enter the following menus.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List Tester Display |
---|
Starter SW |
(b) Remove the ST NO. 1 relay from the No. 1 engine room relay block assembly.
(c) According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
The Data List item "Starter SW" does not change from ON | A |
The Data List item "Starter SW" changes from ON to OFF | B |
HINT:
B | REPLACE ST NO. 2 RELAY |
|
3. | CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF ST NO. 1 RELAY) |
*1 | No. 1 Engine Room Relay Block Assembly |
*2 | ST NO. 1 Relay |
HINT:
The purpose of this step is to check for ST NO. 1 relay terminal voltage under abnormal conditions.
(a) Remove the ST NO. 1 relay from the No. 1 engine room relay block assembly.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Measure the voltage between ST NO. 1 relay terminal 2 and body ground.
HINT:
|
4. | INSPECT ENGINE STOP AND START ECU (CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT) |
*1 | No. 1 Engine Room Relay Block Assembly |
*2 | ST NO. 1 Relay |
(a) Disconnect the engine stop and start ECU connector.
(b) Measure the voltage between ST NO. 1 relay terminal 2 and body ground and compare it to the voltage measured in the previous step.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
The voltage between ST NO. 1 relay terminal 2 and body ground does not change when the connector is disconnected. | A |
The voltage between ST NO. 1 relay terminal 2 and body ground changes when the connector is disconnected. | B |
HINT:
B | REPLACE ENGINE STOP AND START ECU |
|
5. | INSPECT CLUTCH START SWITCH ASSEMBLY (CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT) |
*1 | No. 1 Engine Room Relay Block Assembly |
*2 | ST NO. 1 Relay |
(a) Disconnect the clutch start switch assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage between ST NO. 1 relay terminal 2 and body ground and compare it to the voltage measured in the previous step.
