A backup boost converter is built into the engine stop and start ECU.
The backup boost converter helps maintain auxiliary battery voltage to prevent various functions from failing if power source voltage supplied from the backup boost converter drops due to the high electrical load when the engine is restarted by stop and start control.
The backup boost converter helps maintain the power source voltage if the auxiliary battery voltage drops due to the high electrical load when the engine is restarted by stop and start control.
A relay function and fuse function are provided in the backup boost converter.
If there is a malfunction in any of the electrical system circuits connected to the backup boost converter, the fuse and relay functions shut off the malfunctioning circuit to protect other circuits (remains shut off until next trip).
When the electrical system circuit is shut off, power to the circuit is cut off, causing any systems connected to the circuit to be disabled.
The fuse function is reset* when the ignition switch is turned off. If the malfunction still exists in the electrical system circuit that has been shut off by the relay function, it will be shut off again by the relay and fuse functions the next time the ignition switch is turned to ON.
*: A semiconductor fuse self resets according to electric signal.

CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING
If the cable is disconnected from the auxiliary battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed.
In this case, let the vehicle idle to complete the refresh charge. The refresh charge is complete when the Data List item Status of Battery Charge Control changes from "Refresh Charge Mode". (Usually, idling the engine for 5 to 60 minutes with the auxiliary battery fluid temperature at 11°C (52°F) or higher, the refresh charge will be completed.)
If the GTS is not available and the Data List item Status of Battery Charge Control cannot be checked, charge the auxiliary battery by idling the engine for approximately 5 to 60 minutes or driving the vehicle, and then drive the vehicle and check that stop and start control operates.
If the engine is started with the hood open, the system determines that a jump start has occurred. Therefore, make sure that the hood is closed before starting the engine and driving the vehicle.
After the refresh charge completes, turn the ignition switch off, wait for at least 30 seconds, and then start the engine again. If the vehicle enters refresh charge mode again while the engine is idling, the initial refresh charge did not properly complete, so wait for the refresh charge to complete.
Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after it is warmed up and check that the engine idle speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.
Clear the DTCs.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4 mph) or more.
When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
Keep the engine stopped by stop and start control for 1 second or more. (Keep the shift lever in D.)
Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.
If the engine cranks slowly when the engine is restarted, it can be determined that the auxiliary battery voltage is low.
Check that DTCs are not output.
STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

If the vehicle enters refresh charge mode again while the engine is idling, the initial refresh charge did not properly complete, so wait for the refresh charge to complete.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Turn the air conditioning system off.
Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4 mph) or more.
When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control. (Keep the shift lever in D.)
Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.
Before replacing the engine stop and start ECU, read the number of starter operations and write it into a new engine stop and start ECU.
After replacing the engine stop and start ECU, perform learning of the external backup boost converter (eco run vehicle converter assembly).
After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or air conditioning amplifier assembly, reset and perform learning of the air conditioning information in the engine stop and start ECU.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Using the GTS, read the freeze frame data before troubleshooting. System condition information is recorded as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
If electrical load from additional devices installed to the vehicle (aftermarket audio system, etc.) is applied to the B41, B42, AC42, IG12, IG31 or IG41 terminal in the engine stop and start ECU, the fuse function of the backup boost converter may operate.
If the fuse function of the backup boost converter operates, any systems connected to the B41, B42, AC42, IG12, IG31 or IG41 terminal in the engine stop and start ECU will not operate.
If DTCs P279796 (Electromagnetic Oil Pump Component Internal Failure) and P323A19 (Backup Boost Converter "A" Circuit Current Above Threshold) are output simultaneously, troubleshoot for DTC P279796 first, as a malfunction which causes DTC P279796 to be stored may also cause DTC P323A19 to be stored.
For wire harness and connector inspection procedures and precautions, refer to "General>INTRODUCTION>HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS>ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE202201,999999,_V1,_107171,_0496334,RM100000001YK2F,"
DTCs for the stop and start system are not cleared even if the malfunction has been repaired. After repairing the malfunction, be sure to clear the DTCs.
