Circuit Description

The starter lockout relay is controlled by the ECM through the starter lockout relay signal circuit. The relay prevents the starter from being engaged when the engine is running. The relay return circuit is dependent on OEM wiring. It may be wired back to the ECM on some vehicles or wired to chassis or block ground on others. Consult the OEM wiring diagram for return circuit details.

Component Location

The starter lockout relay is installed by the vehicle OEM. Refer to the OEM service manual for exact location.
