DTC P1500 Starter Signal Circuit Malfunction
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−start 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 matrix chart of problem symptoms on page DI−20.

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park / neutral position switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes
on terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay thus the terminal NSW voltage
becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park / neutral position switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECM terminal NSW becomes battery positive voltage, the voltage of the ECM internal pow-
er source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air−fuel ratio correction
and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
