MONITOR DESCRIPTION
While the engine is being cranked, the positive 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 sets the DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 12.4 mph (20 km/h) for over 20 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
1 READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / STARTER SIG.
(d) Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and START position.
OK
2 INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
(a) Inspect the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch.
(1) Disconnect the P1 PNP switch connector.
(2) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(3) Reconnect the PNP switch connector.
3 READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / STARTER SIG.
(d) Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and the START position.
OK
4 INSPECT IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the I15 ignition switch connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(c) Reconnect the ignition switch connector.
5 READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STARTER SIGNAL)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / STARTER SIG.
(d) Check the value displayed on the tester when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and the START position.
OK

Precaution
Keep in mind the following points when inspecting the
dynamic laser cruise control system.
As there is a limitation on the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
controlling capability, do not overly rely on the dynamic
laser cruise control system.
Do not neglect to pay constant attentio ...
On-vehicle inspection
1. INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB BEARING BACKLASH
(a) Using a dial gauge, check for backlash near the
center of the axle hub.
Maximum:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If backlash exceeds the maximum, replace the axle
hub assembly.
NOTICE:
Ensure that the dial gauge is set at right angles
to the measuremen ...
