                  DESCRIPTION
                  The engine stop and start ECU detects malfunctions by comparing the conditions of the shift position signal and NSW signal. If a malfunction is detected, the engine stop and start ECU blinks the stop and start cancel indicator, prohibits stop and start control and stores DTC P085012 or P085014.
