b. Battery Disconnect
switch is in the OFF
position.
•
Make sure the battery disconnect switch is in the ON
position
c. Battery discharged or
loose battery or ground
connection
•
Make sure the voltage across the batteries is
approximately 12.8 VDC.
•
Check the battery terminals.
•
Be sure 12.8 volts DC is reaching the auxiliary
solenoid input terminal.
d. Defective auxiliary
solenoid (L10)
•
Check if you can hear the auxiliary solenoid activate
when the start button is pressed. If not, check for
voltage on the auxiliary solenoid coil (see below).
•
Temporarily connect a large-capacity jumper cable
(No. 1/0 minimum) between the hot side of auxiliary
starter solenoid and the starter input terminal. If
starter does not crank engine, the starter may be
defective
e. No voltage at auxiliary
solenoid coil
•
Check inline fuse F112
•
Check or replace the Engine Interface (EIB) board
f. Defective starter Remove the starter motor from engine and apply 12
VDC to test it. Replace the starter if it doesn’t operate.
g. Internal seizure If the starter is good, attempt to hand crank the engine
using a 3/4-inch square drive on the crankshaft pulley. If
engine cannot be turned one complete revolution,
internal seizure is indicated. Remove engine and
contact the engine manufacturer and/or nearest dealer.
h. Defective Engine
Interface (EIB) board
Replace the EIB board.
i. Defective engine start
button
Measure the voltage across the switch. The voltage
should read approximately 5 VDC when the switch is
open and 0 V when the switch is closed. If voltage does
not go to 0 V, replace the switch.
2. Engine will not
start. Starter clicks
on and off. a. Low battery output Check the battery and recharge or replace
b. Loose starting circuit
connections or faulty
cables
Check all connections and cables. Tighten or replace as
required.
