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.
1. To verify the cause of the no crank condition or delayed crank use the scan tool, and read the ETC Starter Inhibit mileage.
2. The controller will store the mileage at which the no start condition occurred because of the ETC testing procedure.
3. This is considered normal operation for a vehicle equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control System and no repairs are necessary.
