1991 LEXUS SC400 relay

WIRING DIAGRAM
Check for the test mode.
Check for open in harness and connector
between ECU and relay.Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown
on matrix chart (See page
TR±39).
Check and replace ECU.
Diag. Code 43Starter 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 voltage is applied
to terminal STA of the ECU. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel inj\
ection volume for the starting
injection control and after±start injection control.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
43No starter signal to ECU.

Open or short in starter signal circuit.

Open or short in ignition switch or starter
relay circuit.
