DEFINITION: The starter solenoid clicks, but the engine does not crank or cranks slowly. | ||||
1 | Inspect the battery . Remove fuse 7 from the relay center. Turn the ignition to START. Crank for 15 seconds and measure the voltage between the battery terminals. Is the voltage more than the specified value? | 8.0 V | ||
2 | Measure the voltage between the negative battery terminal and the engine block while cranking for 15 seconds. Is the voltage less than the specified value? | 0.5 V | ||
3 | Perform the Parasitic Load Test. Refer to Parasitic Load Test. Is the battery OK? | -- | ||
4 | Measure the voltage between the positive battery terminal and solenoid terminal B while cranking for 15 seconds. Is the voltage less than the specified value? | 0.5 V | ||
5 | Clean the connections and repeat the test. Replace the negative battery cable if the voltage is still incorrect. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | |
6 | Inspect the battery and the starter motor terminals for corrosion or poor contact. Repair o Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | |
7 | Replace the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | |
8 | Repair or replace the starter motor. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | |
9 | Clean the connections and repeat the test. Replace the positive battery cable if the voltage is still incorrect. Does the engine crank? | -- | System OK | |
10 | Refer to Section 8A for a complete Engine Electrical system diagnosis. Make repairs as needed. Are the repairs complete? | -- | System OK | -- |
