Lexus ES: Starter Relay Circuit Short to Battery (P061512)

Lexus ES (XZ10) Service Manual / Drivetrain / Ub80f (automatic Transmission / Transaxle) / Automatic Transaxle System / Starter Relay Circuit Short to Battery (P061512)

DESCRIPTION

While the engine is being cranked, battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.

If the ECM detects the starter control (STA) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the STA circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 20 seconds or more.

DTC No.
