Monitor Description

While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive voltage is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. If the ECM detects the starter control signal (STA) while the vehicle is driving, it will conclude that there is a fault in the starter control circuit. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.
