ETC STARTER INHIBIT

NOTE: ETC equipped engines will try to relearn ETC position when the key is left in the on position for an extended period of time and will not allow the starter to crank during this procedure. This procedure can take up to 2.5 seconds.

1. Read the ETC starter inhibit mileage and use the scan tool to verify the cause of the no crank or delayed crank condition.
2. The controller will store the mileage at which the no start condition occurred because of the ETC testing procedure.
3. This is considered normal operation for a vehicle equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control System and no repairs are necessary.

Is a mileage stored under the ETC Starter Inhibit?

Yes

- Test Complete.

No

- Refer to the diagnostic procedure for CHECKING A NO CRANK CONDITION for further assistance. Checking a No Crank Condition
