Inspection Procedure 5: Engine does not start (cranking is not performed).



caution Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.


COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


When the engine does not start (cranking is not performed), the battery malfunction, stop lamp switch malfunction, engine starting circuit malfunction, or OSS-ECU malfunction may be present.

PROBABLE CAUSES




PROBABLE CAUSES


STEP 1. Battery check


Perform the battery test to check the battery status. (Refer to GROUP 54A - Battery .)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2

Replace the battery.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code


Check if the diagnosis code is set to OSS-ECU.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : Diagnose the OSS-ECU. Refer to .

Go to Step 3

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list


Check the OSS-ECU data list.

Operation state
Item No.
Check item
Display
Brake pedal is depressed
3
Stop lamp switch
ON
Brake pedal released
OFF
OK: Operation state and data list display agree with each other.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5

NO : Go to Step 4

STEP 4. Stop Lamp Switch Check


Continuity check of stop lamp switch (Refer to GROUP 35A - Brake Pedal ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Replace the stop lamp switch.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at ETACS-ECU connector (STOE terminal)


(1)With the ETACS-ECU connector kept connected, measure by backprobing.
(2)Using the M.U.T.-III, set the forced power supply output to other than "IG-ST".(Refer to .)
(3)Measure the voltage between the ETACS-ECU connector (STOE terminal) and body earth.
OK: 1 V or less
(4)Using the M.U.T.-III, set the forced power supply output to "IG-ST".(Refer to .)
(5)Measure the voltage between the ETACS-ECU connector (STOE terminal) and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6

NO : Replace the OSS-ECU and register the chassis number (Refer to ).

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III other system data list


Check the engine-ECU data list.
(1)Using the M.U.T.-III, set the forced power supply output to "IG-ST".(Refer to .)
(2)Check the engine-ECU data list.
Item No.
Check item

OK: Operation state and data list display agree with each other.
(3)Using the M.U.T.-III, set the forced power supply output to other than "IG-ST".(Refer to .)
(4)Check the engine-ECU data list.
Item No.
Check item

OK: Operation state and data list display agree with each other.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 7

STEP 7. Check of open circuit in STOE line between ETACS-ECU connector and engine-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the engine-ECU and register the chassis number and key codes [Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Perform Chassis Number (Chassis No.) Writing ].

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 8. Check of the troubles


Check whether the engine is started (cranking is performed).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

There is a problem with the engine starting circuit system of engine-ECU. Carry out the troubleshooting relevant to the engine starting circuit system. (Refer to GROUP 13A - Troubleshooting .)
