DTC P0617 Starter Relay Circuit High
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.
If the vehicle is being driven and the ECM detects the starter control signal (STA), the ECM concludes that
the starter control circuit is malfunctioning. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was
running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other
data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
1 Connect hand-held tester, and check STA signal.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
(c) When using hand-held tester, enter the following menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA
LIST / ALL / STARTER SIG.
CHECK:
Read the STA signal on the hand-held tester while the starter operates.
OK:
Standard:
Ignition Switch Position ON START
STARTER SIG OFF ON
OK Go to step 5.
NG
2 Check park/neutral position switch (See page DI-1159).
NG Replace park/neutral position switch.
Go to next step 5 after the replacement.
OK
3 Check ignition switch (See page BE-37).
NG Replace ignition switch.
Go the next step 5 after the replacement.
OK

4 Connect hand-held tester, and check STA signal.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
(c) On the hand-held tester, enter the following menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST
/ ALL / STARTER SIG.
CHECK:
Read the STA signal on the hand-held tester while the starter operates.
OK:
Standard:
Ignition Switch Position ON START
STARTER SIG OFF ON
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
5 Check DTC reoccur
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand-held tester.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and hand-held tester main switch ON.
(c) Clear DTCs (see page DI-462).
(d) Drive the vehicle more than 25 mph (40 km/h) for 20 seconds or more.
CHECK:
Check DTC reoccur.
RESULT:
Display (DTC Output) Proceed to
P0617 A
No DTC output B
A Replace ECM (See page SF-82).
B
Check for intermittent problems
(See page DI-430).
