Nissan Sentra Service Manual: P1650 Starter motor relay 2

Description

ECM controls ON/OFF state of the starter relay, according to the engine and vehicle condition. ECM transmits a control signal to IPDM E/R via BCM by CAN communication.

Under normal conditions, ECM controls and maintains the starter relay in OFF state during following condition:

• Engine is running.
• Selector lever is D position.

When detecting a decrease in engine speed due to rapid deceleration or heavy load condition, ECM controls and reactivates the starter relay.

IPDM E/R detects a control state of starter relay and starter control relay and transmits a feedback signal to ECM via CAN communication.
