DESCRIPTION
The system detects the ignition switch's starting signal (STSW) and then supplies current to the starter until the ECM judges that the engine has started successfully. The purpose is to reduce the holding time of the ignition key.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P0617 (See page ES-320).

(a) Remove the fusible link block from the engine room junction block.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(c) Reinstall the fusible link block to the engine room junction block.
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (BATTERY - STARTER RELAY)
11 INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY
(a) Inspect the starter assembly (See page ST-7).
12 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ST RELAY - STARTER ASSEMBLY)
(a) Remove the ST relay from the No. 3 relay block.
(b) Disconnect the S4 starter connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (IGNITION SWITCH - BATTERY)
Installation
HINT:
Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
1. INSTALL FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH
Check that the ignition switch is off.
Check that the battery negative (-) terminal is
disconnected.
CAUTION: ...
Engine Coolant Temperature / Intake Air Temperature Correlation
DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the difference between the readings of the coolant
temperature sensor and intake air
temperature sensor. If the difference is greater than 20°C (68°F), the ECM will
judge this as a malfunction
and will set this DTC.
HINT:

When stopping the engine with the shift lever in a position other
than P
If the engine is stopped with the shift lever in a position other than P,
the engine switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to
ACCESSORY mode. Perform the following procedure to turn the
switch off:
Check that the parking brake is set.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Check that t ...
