Description	Start stop unit power supply voltage (terminal 1A) low input
Detection condition	Start stop unit power supply circuit voltage (terminal 1A) of 5V or more, less than 8.5 V is detected for 5 s or more.
Fail-safe	The door lock and unlock may not operate using the advanced keyless entry system. (With advanced keyless entry system) The door lock and unlock may not operate using the keyless entry system. (With keyless entry system) When starting the engine, it may be necessary to use the method for starting the engine when the transmitter battery is dead.
Possible cause	DTCs are stored in the PCM. Battery malfunction Generator malfunction Start stop unit connector or terminal malfunction Malfunction between battery positive terminal and start stop unit terminal 1A Start stop unit malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step	Inspection		Action
1	VERIFY PCM DTCs Retrieve the PCM DTCs using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)].) Are any DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)].)
		No	Go to the next step.
2	INSPECT BATTERY Inspect the battery. (See BATTERY INSPECTION.) Is the battery normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Recharge or replace the battery, then go to Step 6. (See BATTERY RECHARGING.) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)
3	INSPECT GENERATOR Inspect the generator. (See GENERATOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].) Is the generator normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Replace the generator, then go to Step 6. (See GENERATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0].)
4	INSPECT START STOP UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION Switch the ignition off. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) Disconnect the start stop unit connector. Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.
5	VERIFY START STOP UNIT POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE (TERMINAL 1A) Always reconnect all disconnected connectors. Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) Display PID VPWR_B1 using the M-MDS. (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION [START STOP UNIT].) Is the voltage B+?	Yes	Go to the next step.
		No	Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between battery positive terminal and start stop unit terminal 1A. If there is a common connector: Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a malfunction. Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: Inspect the wiring harness battery positive terminal and start stop unit terminal 1A. If there is any malfunction: Repair or replace the wiring harness. If there is no malfunction: Replace the start stop unit. (See START STOP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) Go to the next step.
6	VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED Always reconnect all disconnected connectors. Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) Clear the DTC for the start stop unit using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [START STOP UNIT].) Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 5 s or more. Retrieve the start stop unit DTCs using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [START STOP UNIT].) Is the same DTC displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. If the malfunction recurs, replace the start stop unit. (See START STOP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) Go to the next step.
		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [START STOP UNIT].)
		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
