On-Vehicle

NOTE: Charge the battery fully before starting the inspection.

1. Turn the ignition switch to START.
2. Verify that the starter motor operates.




3. If the starter does not operate, measure the voltage between terminal S and a ground.
4. If the voltage is 8 V or more, the starter is malfunctioning.
5. If less then 8 V, the wire harness is defective.

NOTE: If the magnetic switch is hot, it may not function even though the voltage is standard or more.
