Make sure the shift lever is in P or N (A/T model) or neutral (M/T model), then disconnect the engine wire harness 1P connector (A) from the left engine compartment wire harness 1P connector (B). Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to the engine wire harness 1P connector.
Check the BLK/WHT wire between the engine wire harness 1P connector and the stater. It the wire is OK,
remove the starter
, and
repair,
or replace it as necessary.■
Check the following items in the order listed until you find the open circuit:
The YEL wire and connectors between the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the ignition switch.
The BLK/WHT wire and connectors between the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the left engine compartment wire harness 1P connector.
While cranking the engine, check the cranking voltage and the current draw.
Is the cranking voltage greater than or equal to 8.7 V (KG, KR models)/8.0 V (Except KG, KR models) and is the current draw less than or equal to 230 A (KG, KR models)/200 A (Except KG, KR models)?
Replace the starter, or remove and disassemble it, and check for these problems:■
Drag in the starter armature
Shorted armature winding
Excessive drag in the engine
Open circuit in the starter armature commutator segments
Excessively worn starter brushes
Open circuit in the starter 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 (M/T model) or torque converter ring gear (A/T model) for damage. Replace any damaged parts.
