Inspection Procedure 6: AS&G System Abnormal (auto start not carried out)



caution If the following motions are carried out during the auto stop even one time, the AS&G-ECU blinks the AS&G indicator/display in the combination meter and prohibits the auto start. Even if trying to return to the previous status after that, the auto start is prohibited. When restarted, the engine must be started by the key.

  • In case the hood is opened
  • In case the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
  • In case the driver’s door is opened

FUNCTION


When the driver depresses the clutch pedal during the auto stop, the AS&G-ECU should send the engine start request signal to the engine-ECU via CAN. When receiving the signal, the engine-ECU should start the engine.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


The failure could possibly be caused by the failed AS&G system. The AS&G-ECU, however, can possibly prohibit the auto start, depending on the vehicle status or the ambient conditions.

PROBABLE CAUSES
