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 will set a DTC.

DTC P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT
MALFUNCTION (PRNDL INPUT)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the shift lever is in the N or P position: 1) the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch turns on, and 2) ECM
terminal NSW is grounded to the body ground via the starter relay and voltage becomes 0 V. When the shift
lever is in the D, 2, L or R position: 1) the PNP switch turns off, and 2) ECM terminal NSW receives current
and becomes the voltage of the ECM internal power 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).
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area

HINT:
After confirming DTC P0705, use the hand-held tester to confirm the PNP switch signal in the ALL menu
(to reach the ALL menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL).
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P0705 on page 05-922.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to DTC P0705 on page 05-922.
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help deter-
mine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

DTC P0717 TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO
SIGNAL
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the input turbine. By comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT)
with the counter gear speed sensor signal (NC), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropri-
ately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus, providing
smooth gear shift.

Tool setting5V/DIV, 0.5ms/DIV
Vehicle conditionVehicle speed 20 km/h (12 mph)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The NT terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NT) (input RPM). The ECM
calculates a gearshift comparing the speed sensor (NT) with the speed sensor (NC).
While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd or O/D gear in the shift position of D, if the input shaft revolution
is less than 300 rpm
*1 although the output shaft revolution is more than 1,000 rpm*2, the ECM detects the
trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

DTC P0724 BRAKE SWITCH ºBº CIRCUIT HIGH
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the op-
eration of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during ºstop
and goº driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the ECM
stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) 5 times
for two driving cycles in order to detect malfunction.
