The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank.
Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the
vehicle have an engine immobilizer?
Will it start with the brake pedal depressed? (Make sure to
disconnect the brake shutdown when performing this test.)
If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock.
Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by ener-
gizing it yourself with a fused test lead.
➤
The starter cranks for 1 or 2-seconds but does not start.
Either the wrong ignition wire is being energized, the
system’s ignition and accessory wires have been connected
backwards, or the vehicle has two ignition circuits. Try acti-
vating the unit with the ignition key in the “run” position. If
the vehicle then runs normally, retest your ignition system.
➤
The starter continues to crank even though the engine has
started.
Make sure one of the ignition wires has not been connected
to the vehicle starter circuit.
Has the tach wire been learned? See the Tach Learning
section of this guide.
Is the tach wire receiving the correct information? Either the
wrong tach wire has been used, or a bad connection exists.
