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).

Speaker Circuit
DESCRIPTION
When the vehicle has a built-in type amplifier, a sound signal is
sent from the radio receiver to the
speakers via the "6 Speaker System" circuit.
When the vehicle has a separate type amplifier, a sound signal
from the radio receiver is amplified by

Data list / active test
HINT:
By accessing the DATA LIST displayed on the intelligent
tester, you can perform such functions as reading the values
of switches and sensors without removing any parts. Reading
the DATA LIST as the first step in troubleshooting is one
method to shorten labor time.
