DTC P0617: Starter Relay Circuit High: Description

While the engine is being cranked, battery voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM.

If the ECM detects the starter signal (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 12.43 mph (20 km/h) or more for over 20 seconds.
