CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING
If the cable is disconnected from the 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 battery fluid temperature at 11°C (51°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 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.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
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.
for Automatic Transmission:
Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
for Manual Transmission:
Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal.
Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control. (for Automatic Transmission: Keep the shift lever in D.)
for Automatic Transmission:
Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.
for Manual Transmission:
Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.
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.
for Automatic Transmission:
Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle.
for Manual Transmission:
Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal.
Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control. (for Automatic Transmission: Keep the shift lever in D.)
for Automatic Transmission:
Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine.
for Manual Transmission:
Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.
Refer to DTC P061519.
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 or air conditioning amplifier assembly, reset and perform learning of the air conditioning information in the engine stop and start ECU.
After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or airbag sensor assembly, clear and calibrate the deceleration sensor zero point in the engine stop and start ECU.
for Automatic Transmission:
When the engine stop and start ECU or electromagnetic oil pump is replaced, check the electromagnetic oil pump.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
If DTCs P060B1C (Analog to Digital Converter Circuit Voltage Out of Range), P060B49 (Analog to Digital Converter Internal Electronic Failure) or P060B71 (Analog to Digital Converter Actuator Stuck) and P164400 (ECU Malfunction (Starter Circuit)) are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting for DTC P060B1C, P060B49 or P060B71 first as it may have caused DTC P164400 to be stored.
If DTCs P061519 (Starter Relay Circuit Current Above Threshold) and P164400 (ECU Malfunction (Starter Circuit)) are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting for DTC P061519 first as it may have caused DTC P164400 to be stored.
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.
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.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Stop and Start / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
