1. Make sure the transmission is in Neutral, then disconnect the BLK/WHT wire (A) from the starter solenoid (B). Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to the solenoid terminal.

Did the starter crank the engine?

YES | - | Go to Step 7 .
NO | - | Remove the starter, and repair or replace as necessary.■

1. Check the following items in the order listed until you find the open circuit:
   - Check the BLK/WHT wire and connectors between the under-dash fuse/relay box and the ignition switch, and between the under-dash fuse/relay box and the starter.
   - Check the ignition switch.
   - Check the transmission range switch and connector (A/T).
   - Check the starter cut relay.

1. Check the cranking voltage and current draw.

Is cranking voltage greater than or equal to 8.0 V (DENSO 1.0 kW model)/8.7 V(DENSO 1.1 kW model)/8.5 V (MITSUBA)/7.7 V (MITSUBISHI),and current draw less than or equal to 200 A (DENSO 1.0 kW model)/230 A (DENSO 1.1 kW model)/350 A (MITSUBA 1.2 kW model)/380 A (MITSUBA 1.6 kW model)/400 A (MITSUBISHI)?

YES | - | Go to Step 9 .
NO | - | Replace the starter, or remove and disassemble it, and check the following:

- Drag in the starter armature
- Shorted armature winding
- Excessive drag in the engine

1. Check the engine speed while cranking the engine.

Is the engine speed above 100 rpm (min −1 )?

YES | - | Go to Step 10 .
NO | - | Replace the starter, or remove and disassemble it, and check the following:

- Open circuit in starter armature commutator segments
- Excessively worn starter brushes
- Open circuit in commutator brushes
- Dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear
- Faulty drive gear clutch

1. Remove the starter, and inspect its drive gear and the flywheel or torque converter ring gear for damage. Replace any damaged parts.

1. Select ECM/PCM reset to cancel the ALL INJECTORS OFF function on the HDS.
