Pinpoint Test 2: One-Touch Integrated Start (OTIS) Does Not Operate Correctly
PINPOINT TEST 2: ONE-TOUCH INTEGRATED START (OTIS) DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Normal Operation
When the ignition switch is turned in the START position and released, the PCM receives a starter motor request signal through circuit (L/W). Power is then supplied from the PCM to the starter motor relay through circuit (W/G). A ground is supplied through circuit (Y) from the PCM causing the starter motor relay coil to energize and the relay contacts close. This allows power from starter motor relay through circuit (BR/G) to the starter solenoid. The solenoid is grounded at the starter motor. Energizing the starter solenoid will engage the starter drive into the ring gear and closes the solenoid contacts allowing power directly from the battery through circuit (R) to the starter motor to start the engine. The customer is no longer in the loop after the initial crank request, the customer may release the key to the RUN/START position. The PCM will disengage the starter motor based on engine running (RPM threshold), a set crank time has been exceeded or the ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position.
