Go to Step 2

Go to Starting System Check

1. Remove the INJECTOR fuse 7 from the RH IP fuse block to prevent the engine from starting.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START for 15 seconds.
3. Using a J 39200 digital multimeter (DMM), measure the voltage between the battery terminals.

Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

Greater than 8 V

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 6

1. Connect a DMM set to volts scale between the negative battery terminal and the engine block.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START for 15 seconds.

Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

Less than 0.5 V

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 10

1. Turn the ignition switch to START for 15 seconds.
2. Using a DMM, measure the voltage between the positive battery terminal and the starter solenoid terminal B.

Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

Less than 0.5 V

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 11

Replace the starter motor. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement .
