Turn the ignition switch to the
START (III) position. If the
headlights do not dim, check the
condition of the fuses. If the fuses
are OK, there is probably
something wrong with the
electrical circuit for the ignition
switch or starter motor. You will
need a qualified technician to
determine the problem. See

Emergency Towing

on page 313.

If the headlights dim noticeably or go
out when you try to start the engine,
either the battery is discharged or
the connections are corroded. Check
the condition of the battery and
terminal connections (see page 281).
You can then try jump starting the
vehicle from a booster battery (see
page 301).

The Starter Operates Normally

In this case, the starter motor's speed
sounds normal, or even faster than
normal, when you turn the ignition
switch to the START (III) position,
but the engine does not run.

●

Are you using a properly coded
key? An improperly coded key will
cause the immobilizer system
indicator in the instrument panel
to blink rapidly (see page 79).

●

Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to

Starting the

Engine

on page 218.

●

Do you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the low fuel indicator may
not be working.

●

There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses (see
page 308).

If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find the
problem. See

Emergency Towing

on

page 313.
