GENERAL
When the start button is pressed, a signal is sent
to the starting solenoid. The battery then supplies
current to the starter through the starting solenoid
to turn the engine.
In case of problems, first ensure the problem is
not related to engine mechanical components. If
not, test the starting system.
NOTE: Make sure problem is not related with en-
gine. Pull rewind starter, engine should rotate nor-
mally. If not, problem is not related with starting
system.
Causes of problems are not necessarily related to
starter but may be due to a burnt fuse, faulty bat-
tery, start button, engine cut-out switch, starting
solenoid, electrical cables and connections or the
electronic module.
NOTE: The flooded engine mode can be used to
accomplish some tests, to avoid engine starting
or injecting fuel in the engine. Refer to ENGINE
MANAGEMENT for more details on this feature.
COMPONENT TESTING
Fuses
Make sure the charging fuse (30 A) on battery and
the ECM fuse (5 A) on electrical harness are in
good condition. If the fuses test good, continue
with the next tests.
Battery
Check battery voltage. Make sure battery cables
are cleaned and properly tightened.
Refer to CHARGING SYSTEM to check battery
condition. If the test is good, continue with the
next tests.

Starting Solenoid
NOTE: When testing the start switch with
B.U.D.S., the starting solenoid signal from the
ECM is also confirmed. Refer to ENGINE MAN-
AGEMENT for further informations.
The starting solenoid can also be verified as fol-
lows.
Use multimeter FLUKE 111 (P/N 529 035 868),
measure the voltage between the wires, indicate
in the following table, when starting the vehicle.
The tether cord must be installed.
