Flow of engine start control
1 With the power supply set to OFF, operate the engine switch while depressing the brake pedal < CVT vehicle > or clutch pedal < M/T vehicle >.
  Matching of certification results with KOS-ECU and electric steering lock (Refer to Step 2 to 5 of power supply changeover control.)
2 At the same time with the transmission of certification request to ECM via CAN, OSS-ECU also sends the starter output to ECM.
3 ECM supplies current to the starter relay to perform cranking. Also, ECM compares its own certification result with the OSS-ECU certification result, and starts the engine when the results agree with each other. (If the certification results do not agree with each other, ECM stops the supplying of current to the starter relay and injector. Also, OSS-ECU stops the starter output.)
4 After the engine start is complete, OSS-ECU stops the starter output.
