DI0SI-14
Starter Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is therefore
necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive volt-
age is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel injection
volume for the starting injection control and after-starter injection control.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine is not
cranked, proceed to the problem symptoms table on page DI-20 .
TOYOTA hand-held tester:
1 Connect TOYOTA hand-held tester, and check STA signal.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.

DIAGNOSTICS - ENGINE (5VZ-FE)
CHECK:
Read the STA signal on the TOYOTA hand-held tester while the starter operates.
OK:
Ignition Switch Position ON START
STA Signal OFF ON
OK Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
problem symptoms table (See page DI-20 ).
NG
2 Check for open in harness and connector between ECM and starter relay (See
page DI-18 ).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Check and replace ECM (See page IN-28 ).
OBD II scan tool (excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester):
1 Check voltage between terminal STA of ECM connector and body ground.
PREPARATION:
ON
Remove the glove compartment (See page SF-54 ).
CHECK:
Measure the voltage between terminal STA of the ECM connec-
tor and body ground during the engine cranking.
OK:
(-) (+)
Voltage: 6 V or more
