| P0617 | Starter relay circuit high input |
|---|---|
|
DETECTION CONDITION
|
• The PCM monitors the starter relay signal. If the voltage at PCM terminal 108 remains low, the PCM determines that there is a starter relay circuit problem.
|
|
POSSIBLE CAUSE
|
• Starter relay malfunction
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Short to power supply in the wiring harness between starter relay terminal D and PCM terminal 108
• PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure
| STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
1
|
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
|
No
|
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
|
||
|
2
|
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related service repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
|
Yes
|
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
|
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|

|
3
|
VERIFY CURRENT SIGNAL STATUS: IS CONCERN INTERMITTENT OR CONSTANT?
• Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
• Run the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA stored condition.
• Is the same DTC present?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
|
No
|
Intermittent concern exists.
Perform the “INTERMITTENT CONCERNS TROUBLESHOOTING”.

|
Yes
|
Replace the starter relay, then go to Step 8.
|
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
|
6
|
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn the engine switch off.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out terminals, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 8.
|
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
|
7
|
INSPECT STARTER RELAY SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
• Turn the engine switch off.
• Disconnect the starter relay connector and the PCM connector.
• Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
• Measure the voltage between PCM control relay terminal D (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is the voltage B+?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness for an open circuit, then go to the next step.
|
|
No
|
Go to the next step.

• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
• Run the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA stored condition.
• Is the same DTC present?
|
Yes
|
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
|
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
|
9
|
