•
NOTE: During cranking with the engine disabled, observe the engine cranking speed. A cranking speed as low as 90 rpm
is acceptable, but will be difficult to measure. A degree of discretion must be used as to when an engine is cranking too
slowly.

A1: CHECK
THE VOLT DROP AC
ROSS THE STARTER CIRCUIT
M
easure the volt drop across the circuit between the battery positive terminal and the starter motor
terminal, ST01.
1
Is the vol
t drop greater than 1 volt?
Yes CHECK the battery connections, cable connections at false bulkhead stud connector, and starter
motor. Make sure all connections are in good co ndition and secure. If all connections are sound,
INSTALL a new battery lead.

A3:
CHECK THE GROUND TO THE STARTER MOTOR
Meas
ure the resistance between the engine GROUND lead and the starter motor body.
1
Is th
e resistance greater than 5 ohms?

• NO
TE: When performing electrical voltag
e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.

N: When probing connectors to take
measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit,
part number 3548-1358-00.
• NOTE: When performing electrical voltag e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.
