COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
  • Failure is possibly caused by failed starter itself or failed related circuit.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed battery
  • Failed starter motor
  • Open/short circuit in starter associated circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed inhibitor switch
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 4 .
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at the harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ST
  • Voltage between terminal No. 10 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 7 .
NO:  Go to Step 5 .
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 6 .
NO:  Repair.
           
  • Check ignition switch (Refer to GROUP 54A - Ignition Switch - Ignition Switch ).
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check intermediate connector C-106, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is normal, check and repair harness between B-22 (terminal No. 10) inhibitor switch connector and C-303 (terminal No. 5) ignition switch connector.
    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Replace ignition switch.
STEP 7: Check inhibitor switch.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 8 .
NO:  Replace inhibitor switch.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Go to Step 9 .
NO:  Repair
       
  • Check output line for open/short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 10 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Check output line for open/short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 11 .
NO:  Repair.
           
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check and repair harness between B-19 (terminal No. 3) intermediate connector and C-111 (terminal No. 58) engine-A/T-ECU connector.
    • Check output line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Repair.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Go to Step 13 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at the harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ST
  • Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.
OK:
  • System voltage (Selector lever position: P or N)
  • 1 V or less (Selector lever position: Other than P or N)
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 14 .
NO: 
  • Check intermediate connector B-19, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is normal, check and repair harness between B-22 (terminal No. 9) inhibitor switch connector and B-26 (terminal No. 1) starter connector.
    • Check output line for open/short circuit.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Go to Step 15 .
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at the harness side.
  • Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Go to Step 16 .
NO: 
  • Check and repair harness between B-25 (terminal No. 1) starter connector and battery.
    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
           
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 17 .
NO:  Repair.
           
NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate connector C-106, and repair if necessary.
  • Check power supply line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 18 .
NO:  Repair
       
NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate connector B-19, and repair if necessary.
  • Check output line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 19 .
NO:  Repair
   
  • Check power supply line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Replace starter.
NO:  Repair.
