Automatic Transaxle
P0616 Starter Relay Circuit Low - General Information

Component Location





General Description

Start relay is installed in FAM. TCM output 12 V signal only "P, N" range, this signal grounded to FAM internal circuit through coil of start relay2. start signal of ignition s/w inputted, internal s/w closed that of starter relay 2 and that signal grounded to vehicle body through coil of starter relay1 that is located in Engine room junction box. Then KEY SW2 signal supplied to start motor through starter relay1 s/w and drives start motor.

DTC Description

TCM set this code If impossible starting in "P, N" range condition or impossible starting in "P, N" range condition. (MIL OFF)

DTC Detecting Condition





CAUTION :
1. The function with the higher priority will always take precedence. However, a low-priority is not overruled by a higher priority function.
2. Functions from different priority categories can also run in parallel. It is important to note which function will take precedence in this case.
3. In such an event it is possible for a substitute function with low priority not be carried out if a second, higher-priority function is present. This has been taken into account when compiling the priority list and is international.
4. The mechanical emergency run function must always have the highest priority, since from the electrical standpoint it is the only safe condition.
