GENERAL
Causes of troubles are not necessarily related to
starter but may be due to a burnt fuse, faulty bat-
tery, start/stop switch, safety lanyard switch,
MPEM, solenoid, electrical cables or connections.
Check these components before removing start-
er. Consult also the starting system troubleshoot-
ing table on next page for a general view of possi-
ble problems.
Fuse
Make sure fuse on MPEM is in good condition.
The solenoid may be the cause of a burnt fuse. If
the solenoid checks good, one of the accessory
may be defective.
Battery
To check battery condition, refer to CHARGING SYS-
TEM.
MPEM
If 2 short beeps are not heard when installing the
safety lanyard, refer to DIGITALLY ENCODED SECU-
RITY SYSTEM or ENGINE MANAGEMENT.
Engine Start/Stop Switch and Safety
Lanyard Switch
Refer to IGNITION SYSTEM or ENGINE MANAGE-
MENT.
Solenoid
NOTE:
Solenoid is located in the electrical box.
Inspect connections and clean as necessary.
Static Test: Continuity
With a multimeter, check primary winding resis-
tance. It should be approximately 5 ohms.
There should be no continuity between the posi-
tive posts of the solenoid.
Dynamic Test
Depress start/stop button and measure the volt-
age on the solenoid positive posts with a multim-
eter.
If there is no voltage and battery is in good condi-
tion, replace the solenoid.
Electrical Cables or Connections
Check all connections, cables and wires. Tighten
any loose cables. Replace any chafed wires.
WARNING
Short circuiting electric starter is always a
danger, therefore disconnect the battery
ground cable before carrying out any kind of
maintenance on starting system. Do not place
tools on battery.
