When the engine is being cranked by the engine switch, current flows from terminal STAR of the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) to the park/neutral position switch assembly and then to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal). The ECM then performs control to start the engine.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
When the starter assembly is replaced, the number of starter operations stored in the engine stop and start ECU must be reset.
When the starter assembly is replaced, "ST relay" must be also replaced.
Check if the engine can be cranked.
