ETC Intermittent No Crank Condition







*ETC INTERMITTENT NO CRANK CONDITION

For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.





Diagnostic Test

1. ETC STARTER INHIBIT
NOTE: This ETC equipped engine 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.

To verify the cause of the no crank condition or delayed crank use the scan tool, and read the ETC Starter Inhibit mileage.
The controller will store the mileage at which the no start condition occurred because of the ETC testing procedure.
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 appropriate diagnostic procedure for further assistance if any other DTC's are set.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test.
