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 (or ECU or DESS auxiliary module on
4-
TEC engines)
, solenoid, electrical cables or con-
nections.
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 the following fuse(s) is in good condi-
tion.
717 and 787 RFI Engines
5A fuse on the MPEM.
Fuse on the power supply cut-off relay.
947 DI Engines
25A BAT and 15A INJ fuses on the MPEM.
Fuse on the power supply cut-off relay.
4-TEC Engines
10A (#9 on wiring diagram) fuse on the MPEM and
the 30A main fuse (starting system) besides the
MPEM.
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
SYSTEM.
MPEM (or EMS ECU on 4-TEC engines)
If 2 short beeps are not heard when installing the
safety lanyard, refer to DIGITALLY ENCODED SE-
CURITY SYSTEM or ENGINE MANAGEMENT.
Engine Start/Stop Switch and Safety
Lanyard Switch
Refer to IGNITION SYSTEM or ENGINE MANAGE-
MENT or INSTRUMENTS AND ACCESSORIES.
Solenoid
NOTE:
Solenoid is located in the electrical box or
above MPEM on
787 RFI engines
and besides
MPEM on
4-TEC engines
.
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 dan-
ger, therefore disconnect the battery ground
cable before carrying out any kind of mainte-
nance on starting system. Do not place tools
on battery.
