DescriptionACS007AQ
Prohibits cranking other than at “P” or “N” position.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueACS007AR
On Board Diagnosis LogicACS007AS

This is not an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “STARTER RELAY/CIRC” with CONSULT-II or 14th judgement flicker without
CONSULT-II is detected when starter relay is switched “ON” other than at “P” or “N” position. (Or when
switched “OFF” at “P” or “N” position).
Possible CauseACS007AT

Harness or connectors
(Starter relay and TCM circuit is open or shorted.)

Starter relay circuit
DTC Confirmation ProcedureACS007AU
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine.
4. Vehicle start for at least 2 consecutive seconds.
5. If DTC is detected, go to AT- 11 0 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .

With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “SELECTION FROM MENU” in “DATA MONITOR” mode
for “A/T” with CONSULT-II and check monitor “STARTER
RELAY” ON/OFF.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Check the voltage between the IPDM E/R connector and
ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 2.

Diagnostic ProcedureACS007FH
1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION LINE
Perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to AT- 9 4 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 , "TCM SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)" .
Is a malfunction in the CAN communication indicated in the results?
YES >> Check CAN communication line. Refer to AT- 1 0 5 , "DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK MANUAL MODE SWITCH CIRCUIT
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “ECU INPUT SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for
“TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out ON/OFF switching action of the “MANU MODE
SW”,“NON M-MODE SW”, “UP SW LEVER”, “DOWN SW
LEVER”.
Without CONSULT-II
Drive vehicle in the manual mode, and confirm that the actual gear position and the meter's indication of the
position mutually coincide when the selector lever is shifted to the “+ (up)” or “- (down)” side (1st ⇔ 5th gear).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> GO TO 3.

STARTING SYSTEM
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
STARTING SYSTEMPFP:23300
System Description AKS0079C
Power is supplied at all times:

through 40A fusible link (letter F, located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to ignition switch terminal 1

through 15A fuse (No. 78, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of IPDM E/R

through 10A fuse (No. 71, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of IPDM E/R.
When the selector lever in the P or N position, power is supplied:

from TCM, and through A/T assembly terminal 9

to IPDM E/R terminal 53.
Ground is supplied:

to IPDM E/R terminals 38, 50 and 60

from body grounds E21, E50 and E51.
With the ignition switch in the START position, and provided that the IPDM E/R receives a starter relay ON sig-
nal from the CAN lines, the IPDM E/R is energized and power is supplied:

from ignition switch terminal 5

to IPDM E/R terminal 4 and

through IPDM E/R terminal 3

to starter motor terminal 1.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the
engine starts.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2
Check “S” Connector Circuit
1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STARTER MOTOR “S” CONNECTOR
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect starter motor S connector.
5. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector E312
*1
or F33*2 terminal 1 (B) and ground using a digital circuit tester.
NOTE:
*1: VK45DE, *2: VQ35DE
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check the following.

40A fusible link (letter F , located in fuse and fusible
link box)

Ignition switch

Starter relay [within the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)].

Harness for open or short
2. CHECK “S” TERMINAL CONNECTION (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect starter motor S connector.
3. Check voltage between starter motor harness connector E312
*1
or F33*2 terminal 1 (B) and battery positive terminal using a dig-
ital circuit tester.
NOTE:
*1: VK45DE, *2: VQ35DE
OK or NG
OK >> Starter motor “S” connector circuit is OK. Further inspec-
tion necessary. Refer to SC-14, "
WORK FLOW" .
NG >> Check harness between the battery and the starter motor “S” connector for poor continuity.
