- Crank or start the engine (where possible) until the fuel pressure is released.
1.CHECK “B” TERMINAL CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch OFF
- Check that starter motor B” terminal connection is clean and tight.
- Check voltage between starter motor connector F27 and ground.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Check harness between battery and starter motor for open circuit.
2.CHECK BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
- Shift selector lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral) position (CVT Models) or the clutch pedal is depressed (M/T Models).
- Check voltage between battery positive terminal and starter motor B terminal.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Check harness between the battery and starter motor for continuity.
3.CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT STATUS (VOLTAGE DROP TEST)
- Shift selector lever to P (Pack) or N (Neutral) position (CVT Models) or the clutch pedal is depressed (M/T Models).
- Check voltage between starter motor case and battery negative terminal.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> “B” terminal circuit is OK. Further inspection is necessary. Refer to STR-20, "Work Flow (With GR8-1200 NI)" or STR-24, "Work Flow (Without GR8-1200 NI)".
NO >> Check the starter motor case to engine mounting for high resistance.
