Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with the start/stop circuit. Also use this
procedure if the diagnostic code in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.

completed, the ECM will energize the start enable relay. If both of the signals go high or open while the engine is running, the
engine will stop.

If the engine is running and one of the inputs from the start/run/stop switch changes states, the ECM will ignore the inputs
from the start/run/stop switch until power is cycled to the ECM. Use the emergency stop switch or disconnect the power to the Abrir
ECM in order to shut down the engine.

If the inputs from the start/run/stop switch are in opposite states, the ECM will not initiate the crank cycle. A diagnostic code
will be logged and a diagnostic code will be active for this problem. The diagnostic code for this problem will be active until the
ECM is powered down.
