ENTRY AND START SYSTEM (for Start Function) > Engine does not Start |
| ENGINE START SYSTEM FUNCTION |
for Continuously Variable Transaxle: If the engine switch is pressed with the shift lever in P or N and the brake pedal depressed, the power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 determines that it is an engine start request.
for Manual Transaxle: If the engine switch is pressed with the clutch pedal depressed, the power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 determines that it is an engine start request.
The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and other ECUs perform key verification via the LIN communication line.
The power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 activates the ACC relay.
The power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 activates the IG1 and IG2 relays.
The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) outputs a steering UNLOCK signal. The signal is sent to the power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 via the steering lock ECU.
The ECM and power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 activate the starter relay.
The power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 deactivates the ACC relay until the power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2 detects an engine start.


| EMERGENCY ENGINE START CONTROL |
for Continuously Variable Transaxle: If there is a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly or STOP fuse, the signals may not be correctly transmitted to the power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2. This may result in the engine not starting even if the engine switch is pressed while the brake pedal is depressed and the shift lever is in P.
for Manual Transaxle: If there is a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly or STOP fuse, the signals may not be correctly transmitted to the power management control ECU*1 or power source control ECU*2. This may result in the engine not starting even if the engine switch is pressed while the brake pedal and clutch pedal are depressed.
To activate the starter:
Turn the engine switch from off to on (ACC).
Press and hold the engine switch for 15 seconds.
| 1.CHECK IF ENGINE STARTS |
