Circuit description: Notes

While the engine is being cranked, the starter operation signal is also transmitted to the STSW terminal (for models without smart entry & start system) or STSW2 terminal (for models with smart entry & start system) of the engine control computer. The starter operating signal is primarily used for engine control during startup.

For models with smart entry & start system, when the engine control computer detects engine startup condition during engine cranking, the engine control computer drives the ST CUT relay and stops starter operation.
