Make sure the transmission is in Neutral, then disconnect the BLK/WHT wire from the starter solenoid S terminal. 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.■
Check the following items in the order listed until you find the open circuit:■ 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. The ignition switch. The starter cut relay. While cranking the engine, check the cranking voltage and current draw. Is the cranking voltage greater than or equal to 7.7 V and the current draw less than or equal to 400 A?
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
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
Remove the starter, and inspect its drive gear and the flywheel ring gear for damage. Replace any damaged parts. Select ECM reset to cancel the ALL INJECTORS OFF function on the HDS.■ |
