Inspection procedure 26
Engine control relay and ignition switch-IG system
Probable cause
When the ignition switch ON signal is input to the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU
turns on theengine controlrelay.
This causes system voltage to be supplied to the engine-ECU and to the
sensors and actuators.DMalfunction of the ignition switch
DMalfunction of the engine controlrelay
DOpen circuit or short-circuited harness wire of the
engine controlrelay circuit
DMalfunction of the engine-ECU

Check the trouble symptoms.NGCheck the harness wire between the
battery and theengine controlrelay, and
repair if necessary.
OK
Check the engine-ECU power supply
and earth circuit system. (Refer to
P.13A-98, Inspection procedure 25.)

Ignition switch-ST system
Probable cause
The ignition switch-ST outputs a HIGH signal to the engine-ECU while the
engine iscranking.
The engine-ECU uses this signal to carry out functions such as fuel injection
control during starting.DMalfunction of the ignition switch

DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE
Caution
When shifting the select lever to D range, the brakes should be applied so that the vehicle does
not move forward.
NOTE
*
1: Within four minutes after starting the engine
*2: In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km or less], the injector drive time is sometimes 10%
longer than the standard time.
*
3: The accelerator pedal position switch normally turns off when the voltage of the accelerator pedal
position sensor (1st channel) is 200 - 600 mV higher than the voltage at the idle position. If the
accelerator pedal position switch turns back on after the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage
has risen by 100 mV and the throttle valve has opened, the accelerator pedal position switch and
the accelerator pedal position sensor (1st channel) need to be adjusted.
