Possible causes

The documents say what to doOnly records name itThe size of a node, the width of a link and the numbers are records matching this search, not likelihoods.

Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)

Starter keeps cranking after the key is released (PCM-controlled automatic crank, normal)

On these vehicles the PCM controls the starter relay, with input from the key switch; after 0.4 seconds of cranking a timer is activated in the PCM.

Once the timer is active, the PCM continues to crank the starter even though the key is released, until the engine starts or a no-start time limit is reached.

What to do

No technical document states a check or a repair.

Caution: This is a normal condition and no repairs should be attempted for it.

In the records

No record states work done for this cause.
